Well, MeeGo6 is really Maemo + Harmattan, at least for N9 if I remember the gossip correctly.

I'm happy as long as they don't take away the Maemo core(i.e. being deb based). Also the article reeks with FUD.

I believe you mean "Maemo 6", i.e. what Harmattan would have been if there was no MeeGo.

Latest MeeGo release is 1.1 for handsets, netbooks and in-vehicle infotainment systems, each with their own "user experience" layer on top. The handset UX in 1.1 is for developers to have a peek on the new direction. 1.2 is coming up in a couple of months.

MeeGo distribution will be RPM based; that is inherited from Moblin. That shouldn't change anything substantial. The kernel and other guts are still all true Linux goodness.
