There will still be debates over the software's pedigree, sure, but it'll have its papers.
You have a good point. Intel and the whole MeeGo ecosystem cannot afford to have devices that are 'sort of MeeGo compatible'. So because of that I don't think that there will be any Nokia device running 'a revised Harmattan with MeeGo compatibility layers' announced at the MeeGo conference.

Not a commercial one and and not one for developers. Those announcements will have to happen somewhere else unless of course those devices are announced with vanilla MeeGo and not with Harmattan (which I very much doubt). So I don't have high hopes of seeing any new Nokia devices at the conference despite the timing of the leaked video and FCC documents Maybe after the conference?
