This forum is NOT about one single device only, and what makes you think all N900/N810/N800 users would vanish here (and on garaghe, and builder, and wiki, and...) and thus leave this place withering?
FMC was dead because the project was (mostly) dead, Jim....
Withered perhaps was a poor choice of words, but TMO probably would've become more of a legacy place, logically speaking.
Especially after the N9/950, 1-2 more Harmattan devices, & then MeeGo-proper devices* had been in the market for a while.
That's in no way meant to denigrate maemo.org, it's just stating the obvious...

BTW a great argument why Jolla (with their limited resources, as Stezz said) should create their own infra, when FMC only died because Nokia not keeping "the money train running"
You seem to have missed the point where I emphasised that it should eventually migrate to a NFP entity similar to the HF.
In the early days I think that'd hinder it more than help it, but that should be the longer-term ideal IMO.
Especially if it's not Sailfish-centric infra, which I don't think it should be, I think slightly broader like MeR-based is better.
