Nokia should employ the cssu team to produce an upgrade seen as they're focusing on WP
Nokia wouldn't make too much (any?) money off retooling their production lines, even if they did somehow magically still have all the Maemo 5 source.

Let's face the facts, Nokia's not going to make us another N900. And no, Maemo 5 in its current state is impractical to port, or even upgrade certain core components.

The future for us, post-Nokia devices is made of off the shelf Android devices running Mer+Cordia or Nemo.
