This extra time is also useful for the MeeGo-Harmattan community edition effort.
I have a question about the bold.

I'm debating with myself if this is the right thread, or the one specifically dedicated to this Hybrid-edition MeeGo.

You determined a couple pages back we would use:
MeeGo-Harmattan - deb-based, QT/MeeGo API compat system coming from Nokia.
MeeGo - the Open Source Linux Foundation OS, RPM based.

So; when you say MeeGo-Harmattan CE.. are we talking deb based? A port directly from what sources we do get from Nokia when more software is released?

Or, is MeeGo-Harmattan CE actually MeeGo (rpm-based), with MeeGo-Harmattan UI/UX pieces/components/whatever gets opened to use repackaged and stacked on top?

I guess, in line with Texrat before, I'm trying to further clarify what exactly is the meaning of "MHCE" .
