This time I have to disagree with qole in almost full line.
First of all, I think Maemo Community doesn't have *real* bonds with Nokia for quite long time. Don't fool ourselves, in other places than paperwork, Nokia haven't solved *any* of our problems for ages. IMO, the only cases where we heard about it (not mentioning threads about Nokia, irrelevant in this case), are Council talking with them about some cases (which, most of the time, doesn't bring direct answer to most important questions - like, if it will be possible to mirror Nokia Repositories - no offense to council, at least, not purpose of my post), or thing that Nokia is paying bills for servers.
Second, and IMO most important thing is that Maemo community gathered together around CordiaTAB will be - again, IMO - as good as Maemo community gathered around N900. I don't know why You (qole) try to depreciate that. Especially given fact, that successful concluding CordiaTAb project, may mean designing and creating our own tablet in another 2-3 years, like Open Pandora guys did.
IMO, it's much more important and beneficial for community, than supporting Nokia devices like N9 or N950 (to be honest, I don't think Nokia - as company, not particular workers - deserve that, neither N9 do). Gathering around Nokia-driven "half.meego.harmattan.maemo6.whatsnot-with.swipe.propertiary.ui" Meego approach is proposition of *huge* step back, IMO. Let's gather around projects driven by us (like Cordia and CordiaTAB).
Personally, I couldn't care less about "Meego compliant" mark, but IMO using Meego core with Hildon based UI is just way to go.
// side note:
I think fragmentation of countless discussion "future of meego" is becoming huge problem. Really, can't we talk about that in single thread (banning some "individuals" spamming that discussion with off-topics, we all know who deserves that)?
