Well, if this happened behind closed doors then people would demand to make it known ;) But seriously, the new design needs to be anticipated by the developer community, development from now on should take into account the future hardware directions. So I for one hope that developers will be informed of anticipated hardware changes as early as possible. And hopefully even early enough to give feedback. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
