Understand that I'm certainly not trying to throw a wet blanket on anything-- I just can't see Quim or Peter making something like this happen. It will have to come from somewhere else... just not sure who offhand.
And that's fine.
But if anything, I'd love to just know an answer one way or the other - I expect a "no", but not knowing will be a problem for me.

You only need to understand Elop to have the answer, he has repeatedly said limits for the N9 and the very fact he is the drive behind Nokia and the WP future he is hardly likely to allow a community to move forward with meego is he.
Sadly as much as i agree with you Gerbick i already know the answers, so should you if your realistic.

For anyone wishing to buy the N9, you can do so from any of the Asia outlets as the device will be sold more in Asia than anywhere else in the world.
http://www.nokia.com/about-nokia/contacts/nokia-offices
Just go to the link and select one of the many Asia offices, ring them and place your order simple as that.
NB Asia will have the N9 for as long as it takes to sell them all and once they are gone they are gone forever because Nokia have NO plans for producing any more than they already have done now.
So remember it is first come first served so if you want this device act now or you will probably miss out as they will be sold very quickly.

I hope that this isn't taken as a hostile request, nor do I wish to overstep any boundaries. However in a very recent post, I had an odd epiphany and thought that I'd bring this forward to the TMO Community Committee for consideration and/or as an option.
We already know of Nokia's plan to release the Nokia N9, a Harmattan UI/MeeGo 1.2 based telephone in only certain areas of the world. We've been rather patient, some of us have been found particular ways around this - no updates from Amazon, Expansys nor other retailers that we have a lot of experience and trust with (sorry, I've never heard of nor used MobileCity for instance) and I think it would be advantageous for Nokia to sell the Nokia N9 directly to the community via a community purchase program.
In it, we'd like to know what our potential - or lack thereof - warranties might be in our respective countries, and I'm quite sure we'd be willing to pay to ship it to a standard location - even if it meant sending it overseas.
In just 2 days, I have amassed 24 requests to find out how much it would cost to obtain a Nokia N9 from Mexico. For this community and the people within, I am very willing to investigate this for them since the people here have always been very respectful, helpful and if I could find a way to get the last Maemo derived device into their hands I will try to do so.
But it shouldn't have to be like that. We shouldn't be waiting like we have been made to do so in so much uncertainty. There just has to be a better, alternative way.
So why not see/ask if there is a likelihood for a community purchase program? The eCommerce solutions in the USA and Canada - I believe the UK as well - have been all shut down.
It's just a thought, a longshot, but at this moment, I'd thought I'd put it out there as opposed to not.
Thank you in advance and I hope that you do not think that I am a crazy person for proposing this.
Read: Take our money Nokia. We are the group that is willing to pay for it. We are the developers that will continue to use your products. We are the people that supported each step of Maemo thus far. And outside of the 300+ folks that received the Nokia N950, we're the ones that want Harmattan in our hands and unfortunately live in countries you have overlooked for the moment.
Take our money Nokia.
Let me have an idea on numbers so that something can be negotiated with them.
