Agreed. A lot of the tmo posts along the lines of "oh noes, we've been
taken over by Intel" miss the fact that a single forum of
talk.maemo.org seems to be much larger than the Moblin community.

Agreed. I can even see my platform ;-)

Indeed; the next council is definitely transitional and hopefully the
technology will make such steamrolling easier. Stskeeps is already
pitching MeeGo as Mer++ and so this could still be good long-term news
for engaged N8x0 and N900 users.
