Discussion about compatibility between MeeGo verticals is welcome in the meego-dev mailing list, where the MeeGo architects and others can be found.
The work on the MeeGo official API is ongoing. The first code drop is an important step for this. May will be the time for the first release, but also the time to start the October release development cycle. There is where the API definition will play a key role.
I'm personally optimistic as I believe that most developers will be happy within the MeeGo - Harmattan (and Symbian?) API. The rpm/deb packaging looks like a problem now, but seeing the progress in packaging tools hopefully it won't be a hassle at all.
This new setting will mark a clearer difference between those happy with the official developer tools and API and those willing to dig further onto the middleware specifics of a platform. That is true. You will have to make choices, but this is no news in software development.
