Mobile is a much more conservative platform in many respects.  I think
this needs to be discussed with the GMAE partners

Well, except me.  OLPC is part of the GMAE initiative.  But yes I think
the GMAE members need to put forth a couple of people who would work
separately from the normal release team.  I think it is also a good way
for us to sort of liaison between the Desktop and GMAE with shared goals
such as kicking someones butt into gear getting dbus-gconf upstream ;)
