There is a clear contradiction between what Ingo asserted in his email
and some of the things that the project has been saying all along as a
way to differentiate itself from other open source OSes (mostly Linux).

If this is not a fundamental shift in Haiku's philosophy, then how do
you reconcile the assertion "that having at least one or two of the
major toolkits available on Haiku is simply a necessity" (quote from
Ingo) with what the project has been saying all along about Haiku being
"developed under a single unified vision for the whole OS", that
"includes a graphical user interface tightly tied to a unique graphics
system" and that does not rely on "toolkits such as GTK+ or Qt" (quotes
from the Haiku website FAQ)?

Cheers,

Jorge
