Somehow, I was 100% sure, that you will answer to my post I'm deeply touched by the fact that you won't accuse me of trolling for having my own opinion on the matter.

On a more serious note, though - I respect your opinion, of course. But I think that what most Maemo people expects from Neo900 is to run mature mobile computer/phone hybrid stack on it (aka, fremantle, with or without additional 'e'), not openmoko, or any other OS (be it Debian) that doesn't have very good mobile capabilities.

In my opinion, the only one OS and UI that offer true *NIX possibilities, being very mobile friendly at the same time, is fremantle. Other things are either shifted too much into mobile, or are desktop things, not suitable for usage as a phone.

Thus, I guess that good cooperation between Maemo and any_project_aiming_to_replace_n900 require good cooperation with Maemo officials. (hint - take note where Neo900 name comes from). I don't expect that to happen, for reasons mentioned in last post.

Also, about FUD - Maemo's leadership is in very good shape, and have mature roadmap of what to do next. The only "messed" part of Maemo's leadership was, not incidentally, Neo900's project leader's dictatorship attempts (to seize control over Maemo), but that was fixed already. I would say that Maemo leadership is *much* more stable than Neo900's leadership... YMMV.
