I'm from the school of straight talk.

I'm already getting some updates for my OS via the Community SSU. Apparently I've missed a ton from the Mer, to Mer^2 to MeeGo talk and how that will play out on my N810. But apparently it means that I'll be stuck with OS2008 and nothing else will ever happen on my "open" device... ever. I'll never be able to flash my device with the newest OS of anything directly.

If that's the case, why can't it just be said?

It's nothing against anybody in the know; I'm just not in the know and what I've cobbled together looks dismal.
