That is an interesting descision, given that AFAIK Nokia tries to push
Maemo as a more general platform for all kinds of different devices.

Alarms are a central component for most handheld devices (maybe with
the exception of the 770, but it certainly would not hurt there...) and
leaving that undefined in Maemo will create exactly that kind of
confusion and hamper the adoption of Maemo as a more general platform.

Please ask your management to reconsider that.
