- Encourage wider access to device capabilities through the Vendor Social Contract
- Demonstrably provide an easy route to market for vendors
- Dramatically reduce costs to vendors of supporting EOL hardware
- Focus, harness and support community contributions to the platform
- Encourage and ease migration of existing applications
- Support experimentation, innovation and development
or, to put it another way:
