Ask the same question from a generic point of view, imaging several
MeeGo vendors with several own APIs that can be used when targeting
MeeGo vanilla or other vendors devices:

Does the MeeGo Community OBS want to have specific targets for those
vendors (implying potential incompatible APIs, closed binaries and EULAs
mixed in the OBS) or does the community infrastructure stay true to
MeeGo vanilla, fully compatible and open source?

One thing is to consider a one-time exception for Maemo 5 for the
reasons explained. Another thing is to open the door to any MeeGo vandor
having their own particular closed source stuff.

In the case of MeeGo-Harmattan specific APIs, if someone wants to rely
on them I guess they could simply use the Nokia SDK and the Ovi store.
