Honestly, I don't really have the interest or energy to fight nonsense like this.

Wikipedia is not your little soapbox. If you want to provide useful information to the subject at hand, fine, but you mostly just seem to want to rant on the "security" topic more than any other part of the article. Internet forums are specifically recommended against as "sources", especially using topics filled with your own assertions to back up your own assertions.

I'll also note that the "Future" section is utter nonsense, and Nokia has come out and stated that the Trolltech acquisition doesn't have a damn thing to do with maemo for the foreseeable future (aside from the possible bundling of Qt libraries sometime around the end of this year).

I'm too dumbfounded and disturbed at the moment to try and knock down your arguments point by point. Suffice to say, it's incredibly disheartening that a simple attempt to improve a wikipedia article could descend into being accused of vandalism and bribe taking (FULL DISCLOSURE!!! I'M ABOUT TO RECEIVE A FREE MAEMO T-SHIRT FOR MY WORK ON BUGZILLA!!!!!!).
