[maemo-users] Any news on N9 release?

[From: Valeri Galtsev]

googloids/androids have a big chunk of kernel which is closed source, and
it is nowhere documented/published what it does on "your" device.

So, neither of googloids are open source, for that reason I also exclude
these kernels from my list of linux kernels.

Just my $0.02
