webOS had some ugly bits under the hood that probably would have required cleanup.
This would have been great if webOS was in a form ready to be adopted by Mozilla or someone else.
As it stands, open webOS has still yet to ship (hopefully soon). Most likely because it has taken this much time to untangle the non-open bits.
Even though I understand the reasons why, I'm still extremely bummed that this effort does not cover the Pre3 (or phone based device). Which means people will not be able to go back and retroactively fix a lot of the unfinished bits on the phones.
