In other words: Maemo6 will not be a Meego instance.
There are fairly strict criteria for what it means to be "Meego compliant". See: http://wiki.meego.com/Quality/Compliance
Maemo6 does not comply. (At best, Maemo6 might be source-code compatible, but I have doubts.)

If there are going to be incompatibilities, then they will not exist just for the sake of it. And we are definitely not talking about a "slightly repackaged Maemo5".
Just keep in mind that work on Maemo6 began long before Nokia and Intel agreed to cooperate with MeeGo. Clearly you cannot expect that this cooperation means "Nokia to drop everything and use Intel's version of MeeGo instead".
It is a process.

I actually agree. It will be another N900 device but this time with a better specs/features, polished hardware and polished software.
It will probably have the OVI Store, but only a handful of things.
Basically a super-slick developers device which Nokia will opt as a consumer device, mark my words (or you know save this post in you bookmarks for when it is released to make me eat my words or praise my foresight).

yeh but why nokia don't make a conference bout these questions?
I'm too confused and more people is like me.
is Meego maemo6 or not?
It doesnt sems to have much more sense becouse thinking about that Maemo6 is the day after of Maemo5. But meego it's a fusion between Nokia and Intel.. Or not? i understood that Meego has made mixing Moblin and Maemo and they called it Meego.. But maemo6? why some people continue to call it Maemo6?

Maemo6 does not meet the criteria for Meego compliance, so no -- Maemo6 is not really Meego.
(Maemo6 might be source-code compatible with Meego, but this is irrelevant for consumers and for the vast majority of developers.)
Also, Meego is not a fusion between Nokia and Intel. Meego is an Intel OS, since Nokia seems to never have contributed anything useful in the partnership.
See here for perspective by Intel CEO:

Wanting Maemo6 would be kinda stupid at this point -- Nokia has already fired all their Linux developers.
Even if Maemo6 works fine upon release, don't expect any support or updates.

But I don't think it will ever happen, not even Microsoft is that evil.
Peter Schneider, Head of MeeGo Marketing at Nokia :
[...]2. Keeping Nokia on track to deliver necessary software updates following launch of the product.[...]
The truth about MeeGo Harmattan (Quim) :
[...]I keep feeling amazed every time somebody says "Harmattan is not
MeeGo" based on some architecture differences and then continues
"Harmattan is Maemo" based on... what? No Fremantle UX, no Hildon and no
GNOME-style API means a totally different story for most Maemo users and
developers. Leave alone all the middleware pieces that were rewritten
from Fremantle to Harmattan and happen to be the same or quite close to
MeeGo. Sorry, but I don't buy that. If you insist that Harmattan is not
MeeGo then you need to be consequent and reckon that Harmattan is not
Maemo either. And once you are there please ask yourself how useful was
for you and for the [LinuxMobile+Qt] community to stress the exceptions
instead of the commonalities.[...]
