Maybe hard one, maybe not the best one, but you can't just postpone it every day. The resolution can't be done but just sitting and waiting for a miracle, it only makes thing worse.
Making hasty decision with worst possible outcome (ie. resulting in not being able to compensate anyone in any way) just to please Mr. ZogG would hardly be an improvement.

They have made a decision, but until everything is worked out it should not be communicated as it would do nothing but harm - they already made a mistake to say they have an "agreement" before it's all ironed out. If it takes time and if you cannot hurry it, your only option is to postpone. Or simply drop the ball, say f*** it, spin down operations and go fishing.

As about dialog you mentioned above, where exactly were any intentions to communicate somethign with the community. there is no dialog, there is twitter, IRC and TJC where community gives input and Jolla decides if to get back to them or not at all.
Dialog does not mean that community calls the shots for company. Sorry to hurt your feelings about the importance of the community, but that's how life is.

Of course it would be better to simply say "no" than leave it hanging.

Btw. how many of these you have attended?

People can understand failure, they do not understand companies that run away.
No. People in general don't understand failure, and they don't understand the effects of failure when there is anything personal at stake. If failure affects them somehow it's usually torches and pitchforks kind of ordeal.

And the last thing on topic I would say is that uneducated crowd will always want to burn "the witches" on fire. And you can blame them, but also you can blame those who did not delivered them knowledge.
As we know, the most important thing in life is to find the one to blame.

If Jolla did nothing wrong and they are not ashamed of their choices - they would not hide it in secrecy, but if they do - there is reason for that. We usually embarrassed to tell bad things and almost never about good things.
It's because failure is deemed to be a shame in itself. No matter how it's sugar coated.
