So, Ubuntu base stack won't be used anymore, will it? Which will be the consequences for those developers who are interested in coding end-user applications? Just MIC will make this underlying software infrastructure switch transparent to them? Will the same libraries and tools (Gstreamer, GTK+, Madwifi,...) be supported and available to develop in Moblin 2?
