Without Qt(Quick) Meego will fail.
If you haven't noticed Elop is working full time trying to kill Qt. Symbian and Meego are already axed and Qt has already been half sold to Digia. Nokia will keep S40 but afaik Qt is not used there. It's easy to see that Qt is Ballmers worst nightmare so all this just makes sense. Put a puppet like Elop on the top of Nokia and kill Qt.

Edit: And the reason they're making the N950 is just because they've been working on it for years. But I guess that Elop was very tempted to kill it too.
