I for one would rather have a compatibility layer (ie a compatible version of QT and web runtime) on Maemo 5 to run MeeGo apps rather than castrating Harmattan in order to make it run on old devices.
not really, saying that is like saying windows 7 is designed with reduced performace/functions because it also works on intel pentium 4/amd barton cpus.

a good designed OS can run on both setup and utilise the hardware to its full potentional.

edit: with good driver support from from manufactures
