Yes there's still updates coming to Maemo 5, which is cool. But I believe that's only a short term strategy to avoid the PR disaster of officially anbandoning the device 3 months after release. For example, take a look at

. Now this is just 3rd hand information but with the current developments it does make a lot of sense. Maemo 5 doesn't bring any long term value to Nokia, I'm rather certain this is the reason for why we never will be seeing the free OVI maps upgrade which all other devices are seeing. I can bet on that at one point, long before all issues are fixed, updates will suddenly stop appearing. I have a hard time seing Nokia pouring millions into a platform which exists for 1 single device, a platform that we know is a dead end.
