Basically unless Maemo 6 will have a built in Maemo 5 emulator (much like xp support for windows 7), all the hard work of the community will be wiped out as far as Maemo 5 apps concerned: the cycle of porting will be forced to continue.
This is a totally different question. Feel free opening a new thread to discuss it. fwiw we are saying that Maemo 5 Qt 4.6 apps will run in Maemo 6 and we are discussing with GTK+ and Hildon maintainers how to get their Maemo 5 API ported to Maemo 6. For the rest is mostly about porting bindings, I guess.
