Here's some more old news for review, then, just to keep in mind regarding why people are jumping ship for support reasons:
Stephen Elop says Nokia will leave MeeGo even if N9 turns out to be a hit.
By conspiracy theories, I was referring mainly to the "trojan sent by MS" angle.
Regarding that second article. Please, it's been debated to the nth degree.
We know that it's far from fully verified, that he said anything like that...

And even if he did, leaders can & do change their mind all the time, that's part of being one.
But 1st the community needs to rally so effectively*, that he has no choice but to concede it's dumb to ditch Harmattan/MeeGo-Core entirely.
It may be wishful thinking, but it's the only option we have, if we want an alternative to Android LT.

*even in the face of limitations.
