What?? As the person Oliver replied to I had no feeling whatsoever that
I was being told my ideas were BS. Canonical and the individuals who
work there can do what they like with their time and efforts and can
prioritise things however they like. It appears that their essential
priority items are matching the stuff that the other mobile platforms
can already do - which is logical in some respects. My priority items
would be anything that the other mobile platforms *don't* do. I am keen
that the phone should have a unique value proposition, but Canonical
want it to be familiar to the existing market of smartphone users. That
is fine, we disagree, neither strategic direction is BS. It is their
phone, so they get to choose, and saying some variant of "patches
welcome" is always good and never bad (as long as patches actually *are*
welcome).
