Agreed. And if you see we were able to come up with lot of agreements 
without falling in the typical two Linux traps:

- talking about packaging
- talking about GUI toolkits or desktop environments

We are focusing in the user and the simple problem of finding a cool app 
and install it. We are using PackageKit to solve technical issues in the 
current reality of Linux, but if the user gets the software as a Chrome 
extension or a full self contained image, he will not care, and we will 
slowly open our minds and leave more and more dogmas out to fulfill this 
goal.
