2/10 very low effort, since this is now unsubstantiated suspicions thread, I suspect that:

since jolla is now officially russian mobile system (no longer rumour, sorry samsung: http://reviewjolla.blogspot.com/2015...-over.html?m=1 ) and got to the top of targets for NSA they are busy:
properly airgapping their environment
running background checks on both current and previous contributors (weeding out those backdoors)
with the help of russian hackers finding backdoors in HW drivers tgey planned to use (hence the problems with good components)
undergoing lie detector tests
swimming in sea of rubles

after all, Putin cannot be seen with NSA compromised device, hopefully he'll get a tablet too
