Disclaimer: I actually like OpenCV, used it for my master's thesis.. I think the question is also a bit, where's the FEA# for this, who's the maintainer and who QA's the APIs provided by OpenCV? I thought I saw utility programs denied because of having no FEA# so I would assume we'd have a FEA# (and a good reason) for having OpenCV as part of MeeGo. In the new project setup [1], I assume OpenCV would be in Applications/Reference? Maybe we should first delete packages after reorg when it's more clear what's Core and what's Reference applications/libs.
