If you are worried about how Arago distribution fits in your use case, you 
shouldn't - we are definitely not trying to force our distribution on you, if 
you are happy with Angstrom. Moreover, that's the reason we propose to split 
meta-arago repository to separate apps from distro/TISDK configs, in case you 
want to use those apps with your own distro.
