There are many bugs that sit in the grey area. Not all bug fixes come in the form of performance and memory management. Sometimes that involves UI changes and sometimes fixing functionality means creating code that looks an awful lot like adding a feature. If you've done product development you'd know what I mean.

BTW, look through Fremantle bug list. Lots of bugs were pushed off to be fixed in Harmattan. These are bugs, not features. Why not bring those back in? Like I said, there's plenty of work to be done. PR 1.3 made it seem like there was nothing left. There is a whole bunch of bug fixes they can address without trying to add multi-touch or add Adobe Flash.

BTW, yes, not all phones are created equal.
