Search thread for "wasted"...

Because it's not changed. For example, Wi-Fi on Meego has always worked without closed blobs. The issue is the MAC address and the regulatory stuff, which require access to the CAL partition -- another part that despite being several open reimplementations Meego for the N900 still uses the Nokia blob (someone tell me why?).

So, warm welcome to my club. Keep Maemo, and forget about community updates, CSSU releases and new Meego versions. It's all too bleeding edge. I need a working phone.

But don't say it's moot which one is more open. One will stagnate. The other might not.
