If it was a complete fabrication then Nokia would issue a statement without even being asked because false information like that hurts the platform, it hurts developer support, the only reasons you wouldn't is if you were either really incompetent, did not care about the platform enough to bother, or it was true. I have learnt from my experience with the N900 and the complete silence at Nokia at the time about flash that you only continue with uncertainty when it is beneficial, it lets people still believe.
I can't say I agree with aspects of your theory TBH...
Big one is that there's still not certainty about Elop ever saying N9 is the last MeeGo ph.
A non-English Euro rag was interviewing him when he reportedly said this.
But the English translation is open to interpretation, & we don't even know if what he said was reported correctly.
It's not conclusive until there's a comment direct from Nokia in a conference or whatever.
And I find it odd if there's an exclusivity agreement, why this has happened by now.
It may be merely an obligation for Elop, the board, & senior management.
But it's certainly not for engineers who put many years of blood, sweat, & tears into it.
Intel agreement was gradually morphing into a wonderful way to leverage their work even further, & amplify it.
We can see that now when we try to understand the MeeGo community, & how it interrelates with Harmattan.
In theory it's been killed, but in practice it looks like work proceeds as was originally planned, at least for now.
Edit: forgot to mention, I did not mean any disrespect to those actually working on Meego at Nokia. It was aimed at those at the top, Elop in particular. I know that some do love what they are working on, some even enough to walk out or protest when the news was announced.

It's called copy and paste its the best system for getting music onto my mp3 player and it doesn't require a several hundred megabyte program that installs a lot of crap i don't want to do it.
