Actually, in general it's marked fixed when the public has access to the code with the fix in it. Not when a release comes out. So the question really is whether these fixes are going into a public SCM, and whether it's possible for someone outside Nokia to deploy the fix from that SCM and test it.

Sometimes, with Maemo code, that's before the release, and sometimes it's after the release.
