You are correct.  The project is to integrate software on a plug
computer, running Debian.  If it runs on other platforms, great,
but that is not the main focus.

I agree that the first step in that is ease of administration, as
described by John Gilmore[0].  Unfortunately, it seems that most
of us find that step to be the least interesting to work on.
