But we cannot do that today. The Activity packages that exist have
serious bugs, and most .xo bundles simply will not run on these other
platforms in the packaged Sugar environments. Please put those pages
back.

I don't mind you asking us whether we need these pages, but I object
to you deleting them without asking first.

Not really. We need as much information as possible about how jhbuild
has been put on Ubuntu and other distros, in order to support building
it on yet more distros.
