Which more features are you referring to? Like the ability to make and 
receive a phone call? ;-P Or to actually be able to save a phone contact 
with a name? Other than that I don't see us implementing the highly 
advanced smartphone features that we could potentially have on such a 
phone (unfortunately).

No, you won't get flamed. Why? We all know that stability and 
SHR-unstable are not 2 things that go together.

I can't comment on the 2 icons decision, but if you don't like the icons 
why don't you check in better ones?

It has been dropped because it did 2 things:
Setting the /sys/proc/vm/overcommit to 1 which can cause mysterious 
crashes which we don't want in SHR as they are impossible to debug.

and second unset LC_ALL,

SHR does export a LANG=en_US.utf8 setting in /etc/profile (or somewhere 
else in /etc, I forgot). No need to always call a script to set it 
again, right. Change it in the correct place if you want. If we unset 
LC_ALL and it works for you, it won't work for others. I am all for 
accepting patches, but just calling  more wrapper scripts because the 
correct environment is not set up properly in the first place, does not 
sound very appealing to me.

Ususally, an app that has to touch LC_ALL, is pretty much broken.
If you convince us that it is actually useful and needed, then let us 
simply add it to our .desktop file.

I made those optional now (espeak and flite were RECOMMENDed before, 
which means that package manager would install it by default, now they 
are SUGGESTed which means they won't be installed by default. But if 
already installed, they will not be uninstalled.

 > the default config style wastes so much display space it hurts.
AFAIK it is based on the upstream default config. What changes do you 
propose? The best is not just to post a wholesale navit.xml, but to 
propose small patches that we can apply that fix display issues.

Neither do we.
