Not to troll or take the thread off-topic, but in all fairness that's a really big call to make about hw/sw you've never used...
Everything they've hinted is that it'll be far less crippled than Harmattan WRT it's many closed components & crazy security frameworks.
Even the UX looks very different to Harmattan's, & with large chunks of it purported to be open, it may be more Harmattan-like or more Nemo/Freemantle-like, take your pick.
The only way you could say it's not in the spirit of the N900, is via the fact that it doesn't have a physical qwerty, at least "out-of-the-box".
This project borrows the N900 concept & takes it to a level of openness far greater than the original N900/Fremantle, possibly the Jolla_Ph/Sailfish too, that's what I/others like.
