Yes you are right and thanks for raising such a major issue.

I "know" that Nokia will not exercise their rights on this effort. The pity though, is that it will not support it and the work by their supporters and contributors will need to be double to achive this and moreover they will need to repeat it at every major version of Maemo.

If anyone knows an issue, brainstorm or similar to vote/follow please provide a link.
