Thanks for the pointer!
To answer your question: no. Fremantle brings a lot of new stuff that needs to run in real devices and needs to improve with the feedback of real users and developers. The success of Fremantle is needed for the success of Harmattan.
We have started sharing our Harmattan roadmap soon to clarify a couple of questions that were coming frequently: what is the toolkit strategy and what is the relation with Symbian.
It's also a good practice in open source platforms. Now the Qt path can work with clearer goals in mind, knowing that Maemo is going to be a platform with good support and a significant investment in innovation. And the GTK+ path can start considering what future they want for the Hildon contribution and what is the support level they want to achieve in Fremantle. Since Fremantle hasn't even seen the light as final version there is time to discuss and get organized.
You might be interested reading and listening the original source:
Maemo Harmattan: Qt and more
There is also another thread where this topic has been discussed:

If you have further questions please ask. Perhaps better in the thread above.
