Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mer based on Ubuntu? from the wiki:

"Mer is a new Linux operating system, built upon a thin base of Ubuntu
Jaunty combined with the best open-source elements of Nokia's Maemo
platform."

Are those "open-source elements of Nokia's Maemo platform" already
coming from maemo 5?

Thanks in advance,
