Per Paul Eggleton he suggested that the wording we had about YP focusing
on the GNOME Mobile environment was misleading now. It was in there in the
original version of the FAQ but with time has become outdated. I simply
removed the "GNOME" part and left the part that mentions about YP
being a stable
environment and well-suited for the embedded mobile environment.
