[sugar] Home Design: Free Layout View

Since when does a circle suggest "an inherent finite quality"? And how
does having a finite number of activities on the home page run counter
to allowing children to create and explore?

But rather than argue about hand waving, Tomeu's work on making the
favorite icon layout "pluggable" seems to be a great compromise. Let a
thousand flowers bloom.
