Nokia should take the time and effort to address the community again about where we're charting the course; even if it's just to say:

Please wait... recalculating route.
That too (thanks ysss for the parabole, very illustrative).

The MeeGo announcement implies changes for everybody and dealing with this transition period is not simple.

One concrete example: in the Maemo Summit we promised a "Maemo 6 alpha SDK" in 1Q2010. We are working on the deliverables but after the MeeGo launch some questions are to be considered. Should we keep the plan and release a purely Harmattan SDK? Should we wait and align to the MeeGo content and schedule? What serves better the plans of Harmattan, MeeGo, the developers out there?

There are plenty of other little things like this. The transitional path is worth since the goal aims now much higher. But there is indeed some 'recalculating route' process going on and it is useful to take it into account when expecting concrete answers.
