Apart from technical details, there is a strategic angle - we want a
single package that we can "trust" to be on most devices, but yet is
under community control. Right now, this is not something we have. We
can use this to push stuff out regardless of Nokia schedules, or lack
thereof. The 2 packages specified already are just the beginning ,
depending on the number of problems and especially fixes we end up
seeing.

"Community control" here means that while FN (Attila as the default
go-to guy ATM) will do the physical labor (on paid/unpaid time), we
understand maemo council to have the veto right to say that a
specified package should be added / removed from the csp dependency
list, and that this should not be seen as official Nokia activity in
any legally binding sense.
