FWIW, I plan to clean up the packages so they can be pushed to oS:F,
however there are various issues:

 + the development in Moblin:Factory doesn't follow the openSUSE
   development cycle. So how should the packages be handled? I doubt we
   can use M:F as a devel project for oS:F, at least for now :/ Would
   some "forking" be a good thing?

 + we need a plan to know what we should release. I have no idea what
   the Moblin schedule is, but if we think 11.2, we're basically frozen
   for upstream versions now. Is it reasonable to release 11.2 with a
   Moblin version that is basically what we have today + bugfixes?

 + Moblin currently uses git version of various modules. This is at
   least a bit inconvenient. Real releases would be much better,
   especially for packages where we already have an openSUSE package.
   (this is getting fixed upstream, I think)

 + there might be conflicts between what's needed in M:F and what's
   needed in openSUSE. The mutter packages might be an example of this
   (no idea how mutter is packaged in Moblin, but we now have a mutter
   package from GNOME upstream mutter). I guess we can only be careful
   there, since there's no magic solution.

The real blocker for me is the first item. If I push Moblin packages to
Factory now, they will possibly move at a different pace from the
packages in M:F, and quite some synchronization work should be done
every now and then :/
