Well that's pretty disrespectful, when the Mer project leader, Stskeeps, said above he's commited to Mer for N8xx devices.

And for the other guy, Maemo6 IS MeeGo, and will be the first instance of MeeGo for commercial use, though still retaining the .deb packaging at the moment.. It will be the foundation for MeeGo's Handheld UI, and the Netbook UI will ditch the old Moblin stuff, borrow elements of that UI, and the Qt UI toolkit for its construction, so that both have a familiar feel. The .rpm packaging issue really isn't one. Its just a file format at the end of the day. Just repackage the apps and keep moving.
