It amazes me that this has happened.
If you want to see why Maemo doesn't get the support it deserves in Nokia, you've only need to watch Anssi Vanjoki's (hour long) keynote from Nokia World last year where he spent about 2 minutes in an aside "announcing" the N900 in a "well, this thing sucks, but it's available" tone and the other 58 minutes telling us not to steal music and to buy the N97 mini.

Basically, the folks at the top of Nokia are dinosaurs who are having trouble changing with the times, and it's been holding Maemo back since 2005, and I fear it's going to continue holding MeeGo back now.
