I've received sufficient "pro email" replies that I'll continue. A
number of interesting ideas on combining or spacing out Bug Jar email
messages have been raised, but for Maemo, I'm not going to rush into
any of them.

Why? Well, though Nokia has made no announcement regarding future SSUs
for Maemo 5, since the release of PR1.3 items in bugs.maemo.org seem
to have stopped receiving updates stating they've been fixed in one
internal Fremantle build or another. That, plus the low activity in
Official Platform and Official Applications, has led me to conclude
that those two particular Bug Jars have run their course.

I will be continuing the Maemo Official Platform and Maemo Official
Applications Bug Jars only through the end of this month. There will
be no Official Platform or Official Application reports in the new
year.

For the Maemo Bug Jars, that leaves just two: maemo.org Website and
maemo.org Extras. The later is certainly active, and the former,
though currently dozing, may show activity as services transition to
greater community control.

The topics of the two remaining reports are sufficiently different
that I see drawbacks to combining their emailed versions. I'm open to
being convinced otherwise though.
