One question I have is, how do we deal with GNOME packages that are
used by Moblin but are heavily patched to get them to work how they
need to?  Can those patches be submitted up to openSUSE Factory or are
they being taken on by upstream in which case this becomes an invalid
question?  My dodgy memory seems to vaguely recall a discussion about
this but I can really remember.
