Devices *not* running GNU (and therefore Sugar desktop) are likely 
devices not in the control of its owner.

Underlying question is therefore if it matters that the device "in the 
hands" of those kids is in their own control or not.

Only if it does not matter is it relevant to consider throwing away the 
work done developing Sugar-atop-a-POSIX-system and instead invest only 
in developing Sugar-atop-a-web-browser.
