MeeGo-Harmattan is still MeeGo.
Srsly Marxian, you of all people know it most definitely isn't MeeGo, why make-up stuff?
Sure it shares many elements with MeeGo proper, but anyone who's played with MeeGoCE (now MeR/Nemo etc) knows they're very diff.

Everyone was more than happy to call it that last summer.
Indeed, there were a number of people declaring MeeGo to be the future, and Maemo to be the past.
They were led to the MeeGo paradise by the Pied Piper of MeeGo, Quim Gil.
Yeah, that's when people still thought MeeGo proper had a future, or at least some slim chance.
That was pretty much killed-off by subsequent actions & statements by Elop & other senior personnel.

Now that MeeGo is an embarrassment, those same people would prefer to rebrand MeeGo-Harmattan as Maemo6.
Standard human behaviour.
No those people are referring to it as Maemo6x because MeeGo proper never really got off the ground.
There was to be at least two primarily Maemo phones before the switch to MeeGo proper.
Which would've occurred about the time of the 1st x86 phone, which would've been roughly June/July.
