Anyway, don't expect further posts like that to stand in this thread. I'm pretty lax on topic-veering and even silliness but there's a point called "enough".

Back to the topic...
The abject hostility might be proportional to the abject futility over the years, but your point is understandable. How this benefits either Nokia nor consumers that purchase their hardware is beyond me. After getting burned and watching how it's gone, I'm not compelled to purchase again and I just keep waiting because it WAS hopeful and MeeGo just melted away similarly, if not quicker.

The questions I asked still remain unanswered and unsatisfied except for some distracting 'hey, guy! look over there!' sort of responses. Nothing that sounds like collaboration or forward momentum so far. Anybody from any side care to give a proper answer about open-sourcing crucial, still-closed portions that prevent new kernels and enable a fully functional operating system (at LEAST on older hardware Nokia doesn't support anymore, for crying out loud)?
