These days, this is like saying "Fedora will not support the Debian remix as Fedora upstream project anymore." MeeGo *is* an upstream distribution. It appears that (before) you guys were doing this with Moblin's desktop front-end (mutter)... which became the Netbook UX. First, porting the Netbook UX to Fedora is not "MeeGo on Fedora." Netbook is the only MeeGo front end to use mutter/clutter, and it's future is considered dim within MeeGo. It has not been getting much attention, and some key developers have referred to it as having "no future." So, if Fedora drops mutter-meego I think many would say that this is a good thing. For one, it confuses people about what MeeGo *is*. And two, it appears to be waning withing MeeGo. > Since Fedora will adopt GNOME3 by default and the GNOME > Shell uses Mutter, there are a conflict between GNOME I think this is good news. Mutter is excellent (as is the Netbook UX), and would hate to see it go to waste.
