I had exactly the same idea while driving this afternoon.
Keep SHR-lite as lite as possible.
And create a meta package called dev-tools, so you can install all the
tools required for development. It can be included in SHR-fat.
When I say that FR is mainly a phone, I mean that its normal location is
in my pocket, not on my desk, connected to my main computer.

I don't want to criticize the work and the choices made by the devs. You
make a very good job, and I support SHR  in the french openmoko
community as much as I can. I just want to be the voice of the "basic
user" (you know, the silent one that never talk, but use an other
product if he is not happy, and tell 10 other customers that the product
is not good). In my opinion, considering the FR as a dev tool is a
mistake. Openmoko can not be profitable and keep supporting free
software if they only send a few devices to devs. FR + SHR is the
winning solution to sell more phones, and keep openmoko alive.


As SHR claim to be "user oriented", I will always be the "itching
powder" of you, devs :)
