* Updated Systemd to 208

Should be noted that this will drop support for hw adaptations that have
kernel older than 3.0 by default. There might be way to backport some
patches to the respective hw adaptation kernels to maintain those
adaptations.
* Project config enablers to make X11-less builds in Mer, which will
be default off (i.e. X11 enabled) in Mer QA builds and general package
updates/build system adjustments:
Will this mean that libX* packages and dependencies will be dropped from
mer core?
https://github.com/mer-packages/boardname.git
boardname should be dropped in favor of ssu and oneshot. There is
already ongoing work to do this but not sure if it was finalized
properly yet.

Will we continue supporting zypper in the future?
Synchronization framework: (not obligatory)
https://github.com/nemomobile/buteo-mtp.git
https://github.com/nemomobile/buteo-sync-plugins-google-simple.git
https://github.com/nemomobile/buteo-sync-plugins-google.git
https://github.com/nemomobile/buteo-sync-plugins.git
https://github.com/nemomobile/buteo-syncfw.git
https://github.com/nemomobile/buteo-syncml.git
I would say we should get these in as synchronization is one of the main
features in any mobile device.

Media indexing framework (optional):

https://github.com/nemomobile-packages/tracker.git
https://github.com/nemomobile/tumbler.git
[and likely a boatload of the dependencies below]
I think most of the deps are already listed after the rest of the things
would be merged. I would propose that we evaluate this after everything
else is merged to see how much it actually takes as maintenance load. In
the end I don't think it is much if we just limit it to media indexing.

Additional packages for discussion if they're alive or not and if
other packages above depend on them and if they are not more part of
UI.
From this list I would mainly pick the ones that are dependencies for
everything else. Couple of comments though:
...
https://github.com/nemomobile/profiled.git
Maybe this should be taken as part of mer?
...
https://github.com/nemomobile/sd-utils.git
We are missing sd card and mass storage handling in general from Mer.

If you claim meritocratic maintainership to any of these packages,
please let me know and we'll set up access rights for merging and
review rights accordingily after 1st of May 2014 if proposal holds.
I can take some maintainership of some of the generic packages that I've
done general updates in the past as well. But lets see what is left, we
should probably collect wiki page about all the packages with primary
maintainer listed.
Protesting to the architectural and location move of your component is
perfectly valid to do, as well.
I believe from an architectural and project point of view that this
move will strengthen Mer and related Nemo middleware components as a
open source mobile platform in it's own right and make contribution
and participation easier to understand, explain and do.

Very nicely put. Thank you for the effort.
