http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1195 - "look at the core of
Ubuntu and review it through a mobile lens". I think PhoneGap would
fit in the core by being essentially also a sort of build/packaging
tool, and having support for Ubuntu in more mobile world build tools
would be nice. Or if nothing else, at least in the 14.04 LTS context
PhoneGap could make sense if not yet during this cycle - but the work
could already begin IMHO.

I think the current plan sounds quite sensible, since improving eg.
memory footprint, battery life etc. will help also desktop users as
well as the potential Ubuntu for Android users.
