NOKIA's symbian models are not the reason for loving symbian. Apart from communicators 9210, 9300, 9500 and 6780. They actually helped a lot to kill everything good about it. After forming symbian foundation and choosing S60 as the only UI that was it.

Presumably that code's from before Elop closed the Symbian Foundation down in November 2010, how about a code dump right up to the last released update?
How about being realistic. That dump is from January 2011 - more than likely the version you've mentioned or shortly thereafter. You want the UI advancements made in the latter releases that they're still making money from.
Want the keys to their offices too?

Nokia/MS mobile unit doesn't sell any Symbian products anymore. The last phones were shipped by Nokia last June. Manufacturing ended even before that. There might still be some units in the resellers suply chains, but Nokia/MS doesn't make any more money from those.
Personally, sure open up every last bit of Symbian. But what I would really like to see is Nokia/MS opening the closed bits from Nokia's Maemo and Harmattan/Meego stuff. Unfortunately that won't ever happen, just like it won't happen with Symbian.

I don't think it'll change. In fact Nokia's history is full of let downs in my opinion. It won't do any good due to lack of developers and modders. But my point is it won't hurt anyone.
