given that the MeeGo UX for netbooks is pretty different than the stock
Gnome 3 UX, patches for MeeGo specific UX component would still need to
live downstream, not upstream. so I see no problem with distro patches
adding new control center modules, really; and that's generally what
Bastien (among others) proposed, as far as I understood.
