OTOH liqbase *is* a FS participant, and it does rely on stylus input quite heavily so barring extreme lcuk shenanigans, at least SOME of the devices should have precision input.
How would you even define stylus support by the famework? If it's finger-usable, it's stylus-usable. The only way not to support stylus input is something like a capacity screen, which doesn't recognize the touch of non-human objects.

And silence of Nokia employees cannot be taken as confirmation for anything. Nobody will risk their job by talking about unannounced hardware details, no matter how safe it might seem.
