I am beginning to have that fear as well. And one cannot help but think that there are important decisions being made behind the scenes intentionally. It is one thing for Nokia and Intel to align their business practices when it comes to developing products, it is entirely another to shut down code repositories, access to servers, etc. while trying to seed a community. I'd urge the powers that be to include the community in the process, you'll risk losing good will if you keep the working teams and other integral parts of the community in the dark too long.
