I wonder what does it mean? How Nokia describes "hacker"? Can someone with some GNU/Linux and Maemo background can use this release as a daily OS or is it "just for fun" release? If I try to slice Maemo community into pieces, I think of 3 people:



So, would Developer Edition make B (or maybe C?) happy or is it only for awesome people?
Personally I define a hacker as a creative and enthusiastic developer. IMO the MeeGo DE is primarily aimed for those guys.

While regular users are free to try it, I don't think it will suit their needs since it will not include proprietary media codecs and other things regular end users expect in their devices.
