I agree.. and if it's functional maybe it'll work.. so far though I see a mostly half-asked implementation of it here.

Sure; m.o and t.m.o are backed by Nokia - but where are they? How much involvement did Council really have in a lot of the things through the past? I know I've seen some council members complain several times on being "out of the loop".

Also, even if we call it "official community support" I'm still not sure it'd be 100% well-received among your typical end-user; they'll still want someone to blame/call for their problems with immediate results. We just can't provide that here.

We can help, but I don't think many of us like taking getting screamed at or demanded to help someone when - it's not our job.

So, yes I would support such a venture, I think that's the way that things going - but we're not there yet - however, I'm still not sure it'll fix the core problem of Nokia brushing off some of the responsibility of releasing an OS & and a device.
