at the end of the day they are just names. we should probably be spending more
of our discussion energy on the more important topics like how to deal with
api variance between the profiles. that those profiles have names like
"desktop", "tablet" and "mobile" is almost inconsequential. the nice thing
about the form factor related names is that it gives everyone a general idea
of the intended target hardware profile of that software profile. but we can
always change them later quite easily.
iow, i'd suggest putting a cork in this particular part of the discussion and
moving on :)
