* There is next to zero chance that Maemo5 applications would be open source, as this requires significant time and effort to clean up code, do legal checks, etc. Time that is better used for other things. In addition to that, the amount of people that can reasonably deal with that code here is greatly diminishing.
* I have intimate knowledge of Maemo, this community and my opinions stem from there.
* I have nothing against CSSU, in fact I was among the first to suggest it for Maemo4 and I've helped when people asked me questions. I use CSSU myself.
* I am of the opinion that we shouldn't push people towards dead ends as it wastes valuable community resources. People can contribute fixes and perhaps new features to CSSU but honestly, if you want a long term solution, MeeGo is the way to go.
Yes i see the point your trying to make but you do not seem to see my point in that MeeGo will just NOT run very well on the N900 because of lack of hardware criteria that MeeGo developers are gearing up for on future devices.

I say run with what we have got because Linux is a great tool used world wide and can be much further developed for the N900 than MeeGo can.

Maemo is running very very smoothly in comparison with MeeGo and even more the reason why it should be further developed, just because Nokia gave up through lack of coders to do the job properly does not mean this community should.

You clearly have a problem with Maemo now and i cannot dissuade you so you do as you feel fit.

I on the other hand have not said anything to you but my honest opinion and you seem to dislike it sooo much you started this rediculos Poll.
