My impression was that everything of substance has already been asked for and turned down by Nokia, as recorded in the relevant bugzilla entries. Is this a new message that they're willing to revisit requests that they rejected earlier? Or just a reiteration that in principle, they're willing to open components, even though nothing new is actually going to come up?

And why do these requests have to come from the community, anyway? Why can't Nokia come out with an enumeration of every closed component and say whether they'd be willing to open it? And at that point, maybe some community members would be interested in volunteering to maintain some of those. The cost to a community member to even write up a request is rather high, and the presumption should be that Nokia wants to do the right, open thing anyway.
