Sure. Please note that no new update has been announced, though. We haven't even made a first Harmattan pre-release. And MeeGo doesn't exist today even in its most unstable form.

Weeks ago I said in the oldest 'Harmattan in the N900' thread that there were new things in the pipeline and that before a Harmattan alpha release (promised for 1Q2010, working on it) it was really premature to discuss or announce anything.

This is still the case. Maemo 5 is still a fresh stable release in expansion, with new updates to come and more software coming to Ovi and maemo.org. Harmattan/MeeGo are in pre-alpha state, we haven't even put together an early SDK for the most adventurous developers, we haven't given any hardware details about the next device...

One thing is that some users have a high interest knowing what all this implies in terms of N900 support. Another thing is to expect official announcements and promises at this point, considering that the lack of it is unacceptable.

I'm not arguing the right to know. I'm only questioning this situation in which experienced users demand an annoucement about a release that hasn't been announced, before even a first most unstable pre-release is available.
