truth is though many people around here won't be happy until there is a true Maemo successor. Tizen, Mer, Meego..thee just not Maemo.

Looking around, more and more functionality is being rolled into the mainline kernel. According to a page I saw recently, gsm modem, gps (depends on modem) and cameras are missing, but camera support is available outside the main tree. Call support, phonet?, seems to be the tricky point but it does exist in some form. CSSU devs are getting a better understanding of the internals of Maemo. Debian on N900 project for me looks quite promising, as a test bed or stripped back to basics and built on. Maybe one day someone will pull everything together to get the OS we all want.
