From a business point of view, it could happen that a decision comes from higher up saying "Make Maemo 6 available on the N900 no matter what", in which case engineers will make it happen.

From an engineering point of view, Maemo 6 could be developed until it reaches a point where it can be seen if it is feasible to make it available on the N900... and let business guys pick the broken dishes if not (angry customers, trade-in option, etc).
I am quoting myself on this to make a point perfectly clear:

In my opinion, there needs to be a business-higher-up type of decision that says "Maemo 6 needs to be supported on the N900, not matter the cost or the effort". Period. If more time is needed to further develop Maemo 6, if more money is going to be needed hiring developers, if money is going to be lost by launching the device later than intended, so be it.

If for X reason, it is just technically impossible to fit Maemo 6 in the N900, then a trade-in discount program should be launched.

But Nokia can't afford to alienate customers, that have put their faith and goodwill on this nascent platform in such a gross way.
