Intel switches from Ubuntu to Fedora for Moblin

This should be of interest to mobile Linux developers. Intel switched from Ubuntu to Fedora for their moblin project both because they wanted the .rpm package manager instead of .deb (what maemo uses) and because they wanted more community drive.
It is unclear if this will effect Ubuntu Mobile's use of maemo's Hildon framework. I hope they don't do too much to stray from the established base of talented Nokia Internet Tablet developers. The goal SHOULD be to have more applications available on more devices with less development time required. Whenever any company decides to "do their own thing," that goes against the goal.
