Not true, features always cost in terms of added QA and increased complexity. Just because it's been coded, doesn't mean it's done causing trouble.

Besides, with Nokia's Ovi architecture it would have made things significantly more complicated, even, than that.

Actually, the decision was based on two factors, a discussion on maemo-developers arriving at a consensus that Red Pill caused more harm than it was worth, and the reality that Nokia's Ovi Store architecture is a bit of a joke. In that order.
