Hmm, maybe I'm not understanding it correctly or just too ignorant because I was not even aware about Maemo's presence before N900. But, I think accepting something bad (yes, it is bad. It is a old habit comes from closed softwares, there's no place for this kind of behaviour on open software, imho) just because Nokia wants is not my way to do things.

If there's a really meaningful reason for Nokia's decisions about this topic (I think It should not be Nokia's decision, anyway..) I would not interrupt. I don't think it's a healthy thing to accept anything unreasonable, just because some guy/company thinks it is better.

Maybe I'll walk away. to Mer, not Android I'm sure, or any other alternative if it's possible. Time will show. Thanks to you for your honest opinions on this topic
