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?


Sorry if I misunderstood anything (probably). Thank you for your answers,
Javi
