Ibrahim [1] from The Linux Foundation is coordinating the work to define
and test MeeGo compliance. Please give them some time to come up with
their conclusions.

Maemo 6 and Moblin 2.2 development plhases were caught in the middle of
the MeeGo announcement, with committed deliveries and deadlines. Both
are taking some compromises in order to fit within the MeeGo definition,
and both Nokia and Intel are doing the steps to deepen in one single and
common MeeGo stack. Hopefully everybody understands that this doesn't
happen overnight when you have to ship releases without delays.

It is actually nobody's interest to focus in the differences of
Harmattan (the former Maemo 6) in order to tear it apart, as long as it
offers a MeeGo API and a simple tool for developers to deal with rpm/deb
and the Ovi Store. After the transition period MeeGo based devices from
Nokia will ship with a pure MeeGo stack, and problem solved.
