I personally find the following reason much more interesting:

'He added: "The other thing we thought about was Moblin one wasn't successful 
in creating this community push - having a vibrant community push is the 
winning factor."'

I think we (Jeff ?) should contact this guy explain we have a very vibrant 
community with plenty of interested contributers and that we would really like 
to see most (iow not any proprietary stuff) of the moblin work happening at the 
Fedora level, using the Fedora infra.

So Jeff, your always good with words, do you feel like contacting Dirk Hohndel?

Regards,

Hans
