Probably the main reason that dev's have departed from here is down to frustration of closed components so you get a situation where the device is owned by the community and you will soon see they all come back.
Well, that and the flame/troll/boredom.

Seriously though, thank you for this reasonable and well-balanced post, with which I agree whole-heartedly. Are you sure you're feeling alright?

Will it happen? I doubt it (because as others have pointed out, it'd just be a gift for Chinese MeaToo/MeeToo imitation devices, which would probably be crap (prove me wrong) and would drag what remains of Nokia's good name even further through the mud, even while eating away at Nokia's remaining market share in the sector.
