Hmm. I kind of thought that Hybris was already following this concept, only at a lower level.

Well, it doesn't sound like this project is doing much better than Sailfish, though. This is from one of the latest blog entires (from back in February this year):

As many have pointed out the project over the past six months seem to come to a stand still with very little reason given.
Well there any many reason but the main being that the developers on the project simply had no free time to work on this, money dried up and I (the lead developer) had to step back to work more on paid projects and keep the bills paid!

This one seems interesting... I may give it a try, once I acquire an Android device to hack on.
