What does "schedule for removal mean"? Perhaps we can tie removal to some specific metric that we might be able to assist with? BB7 will remain a fairly large base of devices for a while, particularly in emerging markets and enterprise, where I think we will continue to see a large focus on web-based mobile applications.
While I wholeheartedly support BlackBerry 10 as the primary platform for new development, I would like to see support for BB7 continue while it remains a large customer base. Thoughts?

We offer code, but not distribution of these platforms. * Symbian * webOS Sunrise: These are new platforms coming to Apache Cordova with some development under way. * Tizen * Qt Horizon: These are platforms that we hope to see supported by Apache Cordova in the future! * B2G ---- Some propositions + questions, all up for debate of course: - I'm not sure about Bada. Last I checked Bada's passing % of mobile-spec is fairly weak (some features are just not doable; correct me if I'm wrong). I would like to propose that a platform is eligible for "Core" if they have >90% passing rate on mobile-spec. I would vote to move it into a new "Marginal" category, along with, say, cordova-mac or cordova-qt. Also, Bada-wac, how does this fit in? - Where does the ubuntu phone fit into this? - I would suggest we schedule removal of the BlackBerry 7 (java) and Playbook (Air) implementations, and have our BlackBerry implementation be BB10 only moving forward. - The "Windows Phone" category above covers both 7 and 8? What about Windows 8?
