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
