No. It IS new and important information. It means the initial heavy lifting getting the basic MeeGo OS running on the N900 will be done by Intel/Nokia, including some apps at least in a simple form. The community can then take over to produce a fully functional MeeGo for the N900. So much less work to do to get a really usable MeeGo on the N900. Very good news for developers at the least and potentially for end users.
There is also no definite decision yet that there will not be an 'official' fully functioning version of MeeGo for the N900 released. Could happen, still to be determined. My take is the chances are slim, but I don't care much anyway.

Once again: when there is a fully, vendor-supported, user-grade (AKA step 5 of 5) ready for the N900, then it would be great news. Anything else is just blah blah blah.

No need for that, GTK+ will be officially supported in MeeGo (as opposed to the original Maemo 6 plan). Note that porting Hildon apps may be slightly more complex but not a huge task.

Then what you're saying is 'I don't wanna hear about the development process, don't tell me about progess, just gimme a fully finished MeeGo OS on the N900 or I'll keep complaining 'til you do!'
Well...ok...but just 'cause it's not the news you wanna hear doesn't mean it's not important news.

Isn't the next firmware update supposed to fix this potential problem? I was under the impression that some of the applications we use now won't work correctly after the update.
Will this meego that will compile on N900 be able to make a phone call on N900?

Basically agree. This is why pure end users would enjoy more their time enjoying their fresh devices with stable software.
Only if you understand Debian Experimental or Ubuntu Alphas you are going to enjoy the MeeGo and Harmattan rides before they reach a beta state (meaning something solid for you to look and even try).
The Handset UX reference will suit better to the N900. This is planned to be a different UI on top of a common API.
But I'm sure someone in this forum will demo the Netbook UX running in the N900...
