There is still much that is unknown about MeeGo. Best not for Maemo to rely upon it yet for all our future hopes.
Please keep my statements in context what Master of Gizmo was advocating. If one of the arguments were was to provide a maemo.org provided platform that is ported to a lot of different devices, I highly doubt I'd get through with asking for it.

There's already a lot of trademark dillution with the chinese devices running the Diablo deriative for instance.

I believe in focused open sourcing, what is needed. It would take several man months to walk through all of the open source without uncertain benefit in the long term.

I would rather prioritize opening up components that are hardware essential or getting them ported to MeeGo (telephony stack, battery management, etc etc).
