But please, can you name the main use cases of, say, users of KD in the tablets? Try to enumerate them to see what had they to do before, and what will they do in the near future if we do our homework.
Based upon the above qoute, and others in this thread, can't the same logic be applied to OS2006? It's not really supported by Nokia any more is it? Do any tablets ship with it? Isn't it really an "alternative" OS at this point? Therefore, shouldn't i be moved into the alternative category? Along these lines shouldn't Maemo 1&2 in the Old, archived category be combined under something like "old OS's" as well. Obvoiusly, with appropriate stickies if anyone cares to do them.

If fremantle has its' own category (it's not a released usable OS yet), shouldn't Mer (being highly supported by Nokia) get the same treatment?

I hate to say it (I'm tired and crabby), but it seems we are discriminating against non-Nokia alternatives, despite this being a community owned site?
