Is Openmoko working on their 'back to basics' plan?

Dear John,
I agree that the blog post, and especially the title, was closer to
low-level sensational journalism than to international diplomacy. I was kind
of shocked as you probably were to read "Openmoko has announced their 'Back
to basics' plan a week ago. It's time to review." I am afraid that Brankz
took my proposition that "being nice and polite is mostly optional in the
Open Source world" too litteraly. But this is a blog, so could we simply
assume that it was late in the evening, and when one writes as much as the
author does, and one has a point clearly and simply written, sometimes ones
overlook the "smooth feelings" aspects ?
Having said that, regular status updates are good for everybody. Community
loves it. Management loves it too, and for good reasons. May I compare with
what Michael did with the "Community updates" series to keep everybody up to
date on the hardware release ? You are a bit in the same situation with the
software release.
So thanks for the weekly update, and keep them coming,
Minh
