I think our best bet for a usable SDK would be something that sets up a QEMU instance on top of OSTree with a click and updates with a single click/command as well (which, as I understand it, is basically how the Android and iOS SDKs work). Being able to build against a single set of pre-built binaries should dramatically lower the trouble of getting started with development on Gnome. Every time I start a new jhbuild build tree, it's a very long and painful process. And every full-tree update is a big risk. -Travis
