I thought when I bought this phone that hings were gonna be different then how they handled the n97, the phone I almost got instead of this one. All of the promotional videos had a feel or air about them that seem to embrace the community. And after the release it was absolutely clear that they hadn't changed at all. n900 owners are just financial funders for maemo 6, and buyer of the maemo 6 device will fund maemo7. I think once they have your money they don't care about supportting your device.
