Hey, to be honest, I think that Maemo was "orphaned" by Nokia long time ago. And it seems to manage quite well, even better than with Nokia *very* limited support (cause now You know, that if You want something fixed/added, You must do it Yourself - Nokia won't, so don't even try waiting for them). sorry, but 99% of enhancements, were done by community. Yea, Nokia released PR's, but comparing it to community-driver projects...

BTW, don't use almost-dead *closed* (or open now, but with source code releases ~10 years after becoming officially dead) source systems as argument why our forum shouldn't be focused only on *open* system...

I totally agree with it. Still, Maemo is *most* open from existing mobile systems, and ones supported by manufacturers (Android) aren't even a fraction of such openness. So, despite irritating closed parts, it's logical decision to build totally Open System based on existing one with most Open'ish % of content - Maemo.
