I was talking to a guy a few months ago who worked as a tester for Nokia and he confirmed the same thing. There's no one left to fix bugs.
The situation with Nokia & Harmattan is unfortunately worse, as the responsible people have left the house, and I assume that all r&d infrastructure has been dismantled.
Consider this:
- The source code may not be available in any usable form; even if it is stored in some repository the meaningful way to build it into packages may be lost
- The toolchains and EE (Engineering Environment) is propably lost, has been dismantled and is no longer recoverable
- The automatic test environment (servers, scripts, test cases, etc) has been dismantled and is no longer recoverable
- all the other things I cannot even imagine
He told me another interesting story. Back in 2011 and just before burning platforms, he said there was a remarkable amount of Stockholm Syndrome in Nokia. Apparently the Symbian teams were positive that they would be kept and that Meego was going to be axed. The Meego team thought that they were the future and that it was Symbian that was getting canned. Everyone though that Series 40 was finished, it was the oldest and crappiest OS of them all. Everyone ended up being caught by surprise!

He immediately bought one and texted me to brag about his findings

I thought N9 had sold millions..About Sailfish OS i thing it's tragic..I was expecting something better from all these brilliant people who used to work for Nokia..
Anyway apparently,as much as i like my N9,i have to admit that it was a waste of my money..Never again bying Nokia products except if they go with Android or come up with a new exciting OS..

How about asking for sources of harmattan? Since they won't bug fix themselves, we can do it right? They released the symbian source before.. Why not maemo or harmattan?
