We don't even know if they have plans to keep Council around or anything else at this point.
Yes, unfortunately, I kinda feel this way too. Maemo is a great OS with a great community behind it, and Moblin is yet another netbook OS (and netbooks are generally considered a fad). This might sound selfish, but we (Nokia/Maemo) have the better OS for the market that matters (mobile devices), we should be calling the shots.

And yet Intel seems to be the main force behind the now infamous change to a Fedora-like system with .rpm, etc.
