Right. And this is why there've been a variety of programmes! A large number of user-facing developers got prototypes in order that Extras could be seeded for the launch. The summit attendees. And there are other programmes that neither you nor I are aware of.

I'd guess this is one of the final ways (apart from hoovering those up who should've attended the summit but didn't). This is to fill in the cracks, not the other way around!

I just want to make sure they don't overlook one last area of Developer goodwill.
As I say above, if a developer feels hard done by, email Quim & CC the council explaining their position. Extrapolation, wailing and gnashing of teeth on tmo by people other than those developers isn't helpful. At best, it's misplaced altruism. At worst, it's FUD; as people will think that there are developers who feel left out and are going to storm off from Maemo development.
