The Android layer also seems to generate most bug reports on TJC, which leads people to believe that SFOS is in worse shape than it actually is.
Can we strip the UI completely and boot straight to bash, would fit me

I have Arch Linux running in terminal-only mode on my n900, and it sure is snappy.

As you'd of course have console phone application running in one screen instance for example.

If that's the case, why not actually target what you really want. It's not an UI, but a general purpose device that's terminal based mostly and has a keyboard. And then try to sell that to a niche within a niche.
Good luck with that.
Sorry, even as a prior life server administrator, being in the command line 100% of my day, even trying to answer an incoming phone call via terminal, no thanks.
