Maybe, just maybe - this is exactly the troll plan. They should have this ready by the time the devices ship and they obsolete the stuff the product platforms have done as far as 3rd party developers are concerned.
I wouldn't put my money on itemview-ng. It's a great research project but not much more. Not to mention that it will take years until it become part of QT. I would suggest to all angry people download Harmattan UI Framework, review code, suggest new apis and ideas and help us make it a mainstream framework (for instance many comments from zchydum are already in master). There is a lot of things to do for everyone. However I agree it's fun to blame developers which secure their jobs for fragmenting frameworks. Haha. There are only 2 guys in libdui who still work since the beginning of project.
