Out of the top of my head...
Nokia hosts MeeGo apps
Nokia goes bankrupt, or otherwise shuts down hosting for whatever reason
???????
Profit (for M$, at least)
Now, forgive me for sounding a tad too paranoid, or otherwise too negative... But considering Nokia's situation, I'd say that embracing a solution from them means, irrevocably, that a well-thought out backup plan should be ready to kick in at any time, otherwise chances are that they might drag a lot with them, when they go down...
Also, I'm not too convinced that Nokia's really interested in the well-being of MeeGo, after all that's going on. I'd take their offer with a bit more than a slight whole lot of caution. Much, much more...
Anyways, my two cents.

gazza_d, I can understand your frustration but this is a Linux Foundation decision. Also please understand Nokia does not own MeeGo

I never liked the idea of Meego very much. What I want in my phone is Debian or Ubuntu with whatever UX I choose (i.e. Cordia, Plasma Mobile, Meego UX).

At least now the truth is coming out and the kind of truth people can relate too instead of all this closed shop talk.

Nokia's finally found a way to sow disenfranchisement to even the most hardcore fan. The ambiguous blame on the patents - all without stating what they are... software patents, a potential lawsuit, something that we're not privy to yet... just way too convenient. It supports Elop's stance.
Does this apply to Maemo too? Nobody knows... yet.

What good is AppUp to non intel products also any OEM that comes on board will want there own store. also most app stores will only allow certain licenses.
No corporate app store is the solution to Community OSS devs most wont go near them

I think apps.formeego.org is a brilliant community-led recovery from an bad, ugly decision on the part of the Linux Foundation. Our "long lost friend" Nokia didn't create the situation, and they didn't choose the new domain name, but they are completely behind the community-led effort to get the infrastructure up and running without the expected LF hosting and support.
In the long run, I personally think the move to the non-corporate formeego.org site is a much better one, especially if Nokia puts the formeego.org repositories on the N9 like I expect them to do (and like they did with maemo.org).
When Nokia made the open-source community repositories available "out of the box" on the N900, it was a bold, wonderful step forward, away from the Official App Store approach of all the other mobile platforms. Everything I'm hearing from Quim and the community app team suggests that this will happen again on the N9.
