You cant just force people to support outdated devices or waste time collecting garbage for an OS that is dead. Most good things are closed source anyway

I wasn't suggesting anyone force anything on anyone.

I was *recommending* that people who want to keep their platform alive cooperate on maintaining a mirror of everything. Not just sources, but the toolkits, the packages even if binary only. That way if someone wants to wipe their n900 and start from a clean install, they can still find a copy of angry birds or whatever.

Maybe it's just me but I have a freshly flashed n900 on loan and I followed the link to the ovi store and there's no n900/maemo stuff on there any more, whereas I seem to remember there were a bunch of games there like Angry Birds or Bounce?
