I would just like to straightforwardly say that Maemo history is much more relevant here than Symbian history.

Nokia 770: OS2006, OS2007HE, OS2008HE
Nokia N800: OS2007, OS2008.
Nokia N810: OS2008.

Look at the track history. All devices were supported in one way or another all the way up to OS2008, with firmware updates increasing as time went on.
Previous NITs could not run Maemo 5 due to drastic hardware improvements.
Hence the Mer project's re-stated goal.

If we were to continue Nokia's "release schedule,"

N900: Maemo 5, Maemo 6, MeeGo-Community
N910: Maemo 6, etc.

Again, this is even more speculation, but even Nokia would not be stupid enough to drop a device not even a year after it was announced. (Announced 09/2009, Maemo 6's FUDded release: late Q2 2010)

Oh, and did anyone notice the demos in extras-devel?

EDIT: To prevent any more flames of dissent from forming, my position (and post) in this argument is NEUTRAL, and I will not be returning to this thread. If you're still unhappy, then go help with Mer.
