Hi Dave,

I can get that a commercial application developer wants to be able to
build a package which will install on any MeeGo device... we're not
talking about requiring that people split off dependencies, but allowing

The problem is that once we allow it, then we require everyone building a
compliant device to support it. Otherwise we will miss the primary objective
of compliance: every compliant app will run on every compliant device.
One of possible approaches may be to have a second class of compliant
applications with a separate name and a limited promise:
Every second class compliant app will run on every compliant device if
the device satisfies extra hardware requirements.
Please check your device capabilities!
It might be useful for apps tightly depending on some specific hardware
features that cannot be added to MeeGo minimum hardware requirements by
some reason. Support for MeeGo Extras/Surrounds can be considered as an
extra "hardware" feature of a device as well.
