Which version of Maemo it covers? Rather not Maemo6 as it had to be Qt based 
and pdf talks about GNOME GVFS.

And does nokia follows this document? I think not:

Does it means "you are free to start merging your code 2 years after last 
device sold"? Because N8x0 support was not fully merged yet into mainline 
Linux tree.

>> Kernel 2.

We have 2.6.28 + omap1 + nokia. It does not even got stable updates with pr1.1

>> Kernel 3.
>> The kernel source code shall be available as a git[5] repository with full
>> commit history (Nokia standard).

We have only code drops from time to time so bugs like 
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6792 are not fixed for users.

>> Kernel 8.
>> The kernel shall support the ext2, ext3, ext4, UBIFS, and VFAT file systems
>> (Linux standard).

Kernel tree source or binary kernel/modules for device? N900 do not have ext4 
support available in any Maemo5 release.
