Apps will have to be radically redesigned, in such a way that they may as well be on a different OS with a bigger existing user base AND optimised solely for the mobile purpose. It's like having XP or Ubuntu on your phone, both fantastic and loved systems, but completely impractical for small mobile purposes, as their main methods of both display and interface are gone completely. I think if Maemo becomes the new touchscreen Nokia standard, S60 should die a death and S40 should become the regular Nokia standard.
If the presentation layer is so tied to the functionality, then the OS wasn't designed well
