It would also make people less likely to buy a phone and operating system that will be ditched after a year or so.
At this point in time, I would says odds are that Maemo 5 apps won't be ported easily to Maemo 6.

Any mobile OS should support an on-screen keyboard IMHO.

I think we at the point now where many people are acting with the suspicision that Maemo 5 won't be maintained after Maemo 6 is released.
