some of their arguments are:

* who needs a large software pool? who needs "bind" on a smartphone?
* to build highly optimized packages, not desktop oriented ones
* straight ports without UI adaptation are not finger-friendly and therefore useless
* to strip out unneeded components
* less packages means less problems/bugs,
leaving out packages cuts a lot of security work
* ARM fixes should go to upstream anyway
* MeeGo has lots of paid developers who could do the porting
* some small distributions are much more efficient than the large ones
* being compatible involves a lot of work
* Maemo users and developers will adapt anyway
* Moblin has been doing it its own way and will continue to do so
* who cares?
