I find that to be an extremely offensive name, I stopped calling it that ages ago
Maemo6x is far more appropriate and technically more accurate.
Not saying it's a direct descendant of Maemo5x, there's some significant differences.
But it most certainly isn't MeeGo proper, it never even got close to fully transitioning.
It's commercial name is Meego harmattan and while you're right it doesn't work that way Daewoo cars are still the same but these days we call them crysler.
