Swedish Nokia has said it and personally I beleive more in them than trolls like you.
However, they can not vouch for the several years of support, because somebody else decides/decided on that.
One of the major reasons Apple is the biggest smart phone manufacturer today is "loyality" to/of the customer. IOS always supports last 2-3 devices. It means that people who bought iPhone 3GS, will most likely have latest ios, and continue to spend their money in apple store.
Keeping people to your platform is more important than selling a brand new cell phone.

Just an example: there are plenty of people on this forum saying N900 is not supported this actually is false!
People also totaly forget the facts that both Symbian and soon S40 and Meego is using much of the same so called "ecosystem" in form of Qt. This was NOT the case of N900 and old symbian where both used totallyu different API.
So if all trolls here are right well then S40 is also not supported in the long run...
And Nokia goes WP for everything and well if trolöl here beleive this happens I must ROTFL.
Again there is no chance Nokia can go only WPx they need S40+Qt and Meego

"If" Nokia doesn't continue to limit MeeGo's chances of getting traction...
Or "if" it gets enough traction regardless, so they decide to continue MeeGo (once /yr) alongside WP.

"MeeGo effort could not quickly enough deliver us a range of solutions across price points, radio technologies, etc. for us to effectively compete, so we had to make an alternative decision."
It's more vague this time....
But it looks like he's trying to cite: "MeeGo's inability to adapt quickly to diff. hardware platforms" again.
That was thoroughly debunked by one of his own employees.

Some of his other argument for the switch held more water (kinda).
But he held-up this one as one of the single biggest reasons, which kinda undermines his integrity.

The app framework (In this case Qt) and bugfixes.
But no MicroB updates is a problem - can't run Google+ well/at all. Modest is open source, but no major updates there. The WONTFIX issues aren't fixed on the N900.
I wouldn't call that support. It's just yet to be considered obsolete by the frameworks you mentioned. N810 can't go above Qt 4.5 (or 4.6, I forget) and yet it runs Qt.
I'd personally rethink using the term support.
