Simply incredible... in the most literal sense of the word.

I see value in both sides of your arguments, despite what you may think. I have to wonder whether this was Nokia's intention from the start.

Set up a community site and a council to take all the public flack, give the maemo community heads no real influence or control over Maemo but the appearance of it (at least, at first) so that Nokia itself doesn't have to look bad.

I've said many times that the Maemo folks and even the Nokia engineers are probably not at all to blame, but I REALLY am convinced that the corporate overlords at the executive and management level where decisions are being made are perfectly happy with their wages, contracts and aren't really interested in technology or with customers.
