The efforts that go into Mer and bits and pieces of Nemo, naturally would arrive on Nemo for N9 too.
Given that a lot more info's starting to be revealed publicly...
Is it now possible for Jolla to answer all/most of the questions raised here?
Perhaps after next week's extra public engagements (assuming all of the Qns aren't answered then).

A more interesting question would be - what kernel do they plan to use? So far they didn't publicize any details.

Mer doesn't mandate the kernel itself (except may be the range of supported versions). Kernel is provided as part of the hardware adaptation, so the question is not really correct.

Wait. What? Mer is kernel and must have version. And jolla must select one of version at some point. What do you mean?

That gets s me thinking that mer is not really needed by Jolla. In the real world they are running everything behind closed doors in their own development track. This is fishy.
