Yes, I agree it's not cut and dry, but my understanding is that the Diablo clone could not be done despite significant efforts of very talented people (was it timeless?). And, it would probably be easier to put Diablo on top of Meego than Harmatton (because Meego intends to have different UI and supports GTK+), which is not an argument, but an assumption I am thinking out loud.
