it sounds good to me. I'm honestly getting to the point where I hope
everything will start falling into place quickly now, and that Mir will
become API stable enough to completely replace SurfaceFlinger. Once that
happens, we'll finally start to see all of the performance kinks worked
out. It sounds like we really just need a file manager, music player, and
an email client before this initial release is ready feature-wise, so the
team is getting close.
