Well, that's a given. But at least that has been recognised and 
discussed to some extent. It won't all be fixable, but the damage can be 
mitigated.

I really don't believe this can be the case, it is in both MeeGo's and 
Qt's interests to align themselves towards compatibility, and weak 
indications are that this is sort of happening. Perhaps some pointed 
questions need to be asked about that, though. Any volunteers want to 
start asking questions about API differences and why they exist? :)

I may be wrong, but wasn't there a proposal to set up an OBS for 
maemo.org at some point?
