I'm asking questions because I don't know the answers. But I hope some thought will be given to the best strategy for maintaining community support for legacy devices and their OS versions. It seems to me that their might be some advantages in having Meego (and its community and forums) inherit some responsibilities toward its parent OSs.

Keep in mind that (unlike Maemo) Meego OS does not include the UI, etc., on top of the OS. So Nokia devices will have differentiation in that way (the way that HTC etc puts their UI on WinMo and Android) and such devices and differentiation may not be discussed on MeeGo. Add to that the fact that people will try to put Meego on N900 and Maemo apps on MeeGo and that there will be more MeeGo devices (Nokia and otherwise) than there would have been Nokia Maemo devices. MeeGO does the heavy lifting on the low level stuff and so only discussions of that kind of stuff will need to move to MeeGo.
