Is this a joke?
It probably /was/ too short a reply. Personally I think there should
be a single UI and scripting interface across all platforms. We should
try and get pc-sysinstall running on all of them first in case there's
some problem that means it can't be done, in which case we'd need to
use a different backend.
There are just going to be certain platforms that make it EASY to do
cool things. We should embrace that! That's why there are different
platforms!
Some are great for low power, others are great for graphics, cpu power,
gpu, networking etc.
If we always go for the lowest common denominator then we are crippling
all the platforms for no one's benefit. Even if something CAN be done,
if it is very difficult, or just never happening, then we can't limit
everyone's experience based on the more difficult and/or resource
strapped platforms.
It's just not good business.
