My point. Moblin used to be a "desktop environment", with some bits that could be replaced. So you could have made a Fedora-Moblin distribution and called it Moblin (there were even mentions of NetworkManager vs. ConnMan in the rules). Now it's a distribution, and it's impossible to call a Fedora version of it Moblin, or MeeGo.

I used to be able to test Moblin stuff by starting a new session, now I would have to dual-boot. It makes developing for MeeGo a pain.
