That's a good point. I think that Nokia developers involved in MeeGo are in general quite fond of open source, and don't like that the company is moving to WP, but that doesn't change the fact they are. :-(

Also, a point of friction is that the first "mainstream" product that both MeeGo enthusiasts and common people will see on the streets, is this Nokia device, and well, is not really MeeGo. Apps developed for it will be fully API compatible with MeeGo, but the same can be said of Qt apps for Symbian.

Oh, and as I said earlier, Quim Gil's talk about the Harmattan device has been cancelled. That's probably a bad sign for any Nokia announcement this week or close to this week.
