For some reason, they opted not to do it which is about only rant I have against Nokia in this MeeGo-issue. But still, I bought my device fully aware of it's limitations and knowing it was an early adopter device which would be replaced by something new rather sooner than later. I never buy anything based on just an assumption that manufacturer would later deliver something that it has not explicitly promised. Not from Nokia, not from any other manufacturer.
It is a fair comment although. Maemo died that very day when Meego was announced ... no more Maemo after that, marginal support to no support here on in. Focus has completely turned to Meego, and their are bugs and issues already being labeled as "WONT FIX", and the kicker was no Meego official support for the N900 so meaning no future heading, even BB6 is available to the older Bold 9700 but Nokia is out to lunch on this. Again that was a fair point and we can't sugar coat it for Nokia based on a technicality.
