There is a thread also showing on here just now explaining MeeGo is just not mature enough at the moment, we do need it to go a long way yet to even get close to Maemo.
yes Meego is behind. but i am sure releasing deprecated maemo stuff doesnt "fix the bugs" in Maemo.

Just take a look a t how the portrait/landscape is integrated in Maemo!? Even with all "hacks" in cssu it still is heavily broken. That means if we want Maemo go the "forward direction" the UI has to be rewrittten from scratch anyway.

In meego much of the backendstuff is in place. and with qt/qtm/qml we have a most fully working codebase to write a better UI.
