Tony,

It appears that no matter what we say, you are cemented in some
strange notions about the community XS:

  * that it is intended to run only on XOs
  * that it cannot (and will not) serve content
  * that your personal desires from an XS are shared by every other
deployment in the world

I think we've been quite clear about what we're intending to achieve.
If you're going to criticise, at least be civil enough to do so based
on the facts:

  * this is a flexible design, built on Fedora
  * it will run anywhere where x86 or ARM Fedora will work
  * it can be installed on top of an existing Fedora installation
using 'yum groupinstall xsce'
  * being designed in this way provides extreme flexibility for deployments
  * all current features of the XS (Moodle, etc.) will be ported, but
will be optional
  * installation and configuration will be easy, but sysadmins will be
able to treat it like any Fedora installation

We've tried hard to be inclusive and constructive. I ask you to do the same.

Regards,
Sridhar
