With the current MeeGo operations being ramped down during the next year 
and the existing team focusing completely on getting the next N9 
software updates finished, there really is no chance of getting any work 
done for the N900 any longer. So, keeping the Bugzilla components just 
gives false hope. Better to close them for new submissions.

The story is different for the N9 bugs filed at harmattan-bugs.nokia.com 
- these still receive active attention, and I warmly recommend reporting 
any issues found.

Here's your answer. :-)

Cheers,
