Platform coverage. The solution has to work on at least whatever platforms Fedora Core and RHEL work on. 2. Performance. The result has to be reasonable competitive performance wise. E.g., starting eclipse has to be reasonable both in time and space. 3. Debugging. There has to be some debugger story. Harmony would have to excel on all of these before I would even consider, say, recommending it for FC. Tom
