Neil, in principle i agree with you. But the perfect world doesn't
exist and for me as the end user variety is good.

I think with the number of FR sold, multitude of projects is just
expected behavior. We can see the same thing on desktop and it is a
never ending dispute of quality versus quantity. We could hope there
would be one official distribution providing the functioning basics for
our FR but that didn't happen. So personal initiatives just take place.
Instead of seeing the FR platform disappearing, this is hopefully a
progression.
