I still say they end up abandoning most of what they've done so far and switching to a Mer base.

"Opening up" is the wrong term. "Being adandoned" is what you're looking for. Don't expect anymore Moblin development.

Why should they abandon it? Moblin 2 is progressing quite nicely according to reports:

All this is traditionally not directly interesting for Nokia or Maemo community so there is not much enthusiasm here. Well, unless Mer gets ported to Atom blahtops.
Meanwhile, WiMAX support arrived in Linux 2.6.29 and a while ago, the Intel graphics cards and wireless cards were interesting because there were open source drivers available but Atheros and AMD had the brilliant idea to join the bandwagon...
other interesting projects from Intel are LessWatts.org and PowerTOP/LatencyTOP. But they're more necessary for laptops (and desktops/servers) than embedded stuff e.g. Nokia products.

Moving moblin to LF seems to me similar to Nokia making Hildon a GNOME project, not an indication of abandonment at all.
