Just to ask so it's clear (I'm sure that there are people that are
wondering), the architects are still you, Sunil Saxena from Intel and
Sakari Poussa, Mikko Ylinen from Nokia, as back at the MeeGo
Conference in Dublin?

Thanks for publishing this to make the direction more clear - I mostly
agree with the choices, but have some comments:

One thought that popped into my mind: In MeeGo Smart TV there would
probably be a focus that's different from End-User privacy, with
regards to stream protection (which is a market requirements these
days, sadly?) and in IVI where there would be regulatory problems.
Does this fit well with end-user privacy goal?

While I don't like DRM at all, we shouldn't be closing doors in MeeGo
in where we would be easily usable to make great products that are
open in other aspects..

Ironically with performance, at least in terms of startup, this may be
partly caused by BMC#1, https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1 -
which starts scanning instantly at startup, probably trashing initial
performance.

What are your thoughts regarding the architecture process going
forward? Any changes needed?
