There are a few places where (openmoko) userspace might break:

* initscripts (gsmd, gllin, etc)
* panelplugins
* neod
* phonekit

Fixing the initscripts (if needed) is trivial, but if people are going
to update things like neod and phonekit: now is a good time to add some
abstraction or magic to make to things work on other phones/devices more
easily. With that in place a single binary can run on e.g gta01/2.6.22,
gta02/2.6.24, a780/2.6.24, etc. Ideally there would be a daemon running
which you could tell over dbus/ipc/whatever "turn bt on" so processes
don't go fighting over vibrator access, but that's probably something
for the future :)

regards,

Koen
