Sorry for the delayed response, but I completely agree with this for a
number of reasons. We have to keep in mind that much of the development
actually needs to go upstream. The vast majority of the code in MeeGo
comes directly from upstream. Yes, we do have some patches and other
items that _are_ MeeGo specific, but that needs to be the very
infrequent exception and not the rule.
Can anyone name a single other Linux distribution that does patch review
on a mailing list? I can't think of one.
linux, qemu, ffmpeg and vlc are all single projects rather than
aggregations of hundreds of packages. Different community, different needs.
pretty much all distributions try to do their development in the
upstream projects instead.
MeeGo is a bit weird there sometimes....
