Hey abill_uk, are you enjoying 2.6.28? Face it, the N900's wont last long. Production has likely stopped, and it's only a matter of time until we get flex failures, USB port accidents, dropped devices, etc. Wouldn't it be great if the next device you have (say a SGS2 or whatever supersuperphone comes out) can still run the familiar Hildon experience? Not to mention the only things that really need to be ported and not just recompiled would be whatever closed-source software components the hardware needs.
