From the Marble development point of view we're heading towards support for different device form factors. Marble Touch on MeeGo should be the first version; if things go well, the desktop and some tablet device (possibly a Galaxy Tab 10.1 running some less java focused linux) are the next targets to make Marble Touch applications for. This kind of roadmap is important to avoid running into a dead end and to keep pace with current computing trends. On an -- even more -- global viewpoint I think many more open source projects should aim for similar. Proprietary software, bogus social networks and cloud computing have too much impact on the majority of mobile devices currently.
Back to the N950: I don't see it that much of a problem for the N900. If the N9 will not be released for purchase, then support for the N950 will drop as well and people like me will continue to work on the N900 until a better phone is available. If the N9 gets released, the number of people working on the N900 will likely decrease significantly, but given that the N9 is there as a successor, that's just the normal progress then.
Back to the N900 we're going to release Marble 1.2.0 soon, the latest and greatest version so far with extra love for the N900. That's not going away in the near future, more the reverse
Btw. if some of you are going to the Desktop Summit in Berlin make sure to have a look at our special
