What would appeal to me and probably many developer types too would be if Nokia kept doing whatever it can to help the EOL'ed devices finally reach their true potential through Mer and backports of the main apps and tools.

That IMO would help sell the Maemo platform and differentiate Nokia as a responsible stakeholder in this larger community thing.

(So when the new N900 is EOL'ed in a year or so, its user community could likewise expect some level of continuity - akin to Ubuntu's Long Term Support releases)
