All agreed except Nokia are not silent about it.

The official stance is that that n900 is a Maemo 5 device. The community may release new software and Nokia may assist, but the n900 is officially a Maemo 5 device and Nokia has no had no plan for Maemo6 of any new OS. Meego is not the change.
The implication is that all devices are released with an OS version and there may be patches that are consider fixes to the original version- there are no upgrades. The idea a device is a device where support is to be officially forever linked to a specific OS is i suggest an appliance mentallity no longer relevant with 'mobile computers'.
