I just foresee the same happening in Nemo which happened to many of the OM projects when FreeRunner came out (and is semi-happening again with GTA04).
I think the more prevalent concern is that the N9 has been/will be prematurely and artificially limited as Nokia begins focus on WM7 phones and will be a smaller sub-community compared to the N900. So the jury is still out whether the N9 will be a progression in the development of maemo. Of course, there's always the Qt "cross-platform" thing.
