Moblin is based on Fedora. They switched from Ubuntu last year.

Any app that doesn't port easily was probably not following good coding practices to begin with.
correct, but is that a good reason to drop support for thousands of packages which have been fixed or adapted by the Debian community for the last few years?
Sure, all standards will be out the window now. Come on! Are you studying sensationalist journalism or something?
the standards Maemo has been using so far and the community is used to will be gone.
Should we all learn and modify our software to follow the Fedora standards for no good reason?
So?
packages from one distribibution cannot be simply installed on another distribution.
If you try do that you get same problems that Redhat users had in the early years,
when they installed RPMs from the wild.
Again, MeeGo is not based on Fedora or in RPM! RPM is the default package format. That is all. And that is neither a good nor a bad thing IMHO.
Did I criticize the package format?
Maybe I should not feed the trolls...
