Just looked at that bug.. there is a (kind of) workaround to somewhat do this (I do it currently with my SD card).

I took a look here. You can mount the Meego raw image directly on your Linux desktop, and then simply copy the rootfs to a partition on your N900.

Now, I think the partition has to be /dev/mmcblk1p1 in order for the kernel to find and boot it properly, but this at least allows you to rearrange your own partitions a bit and keep the bulk of your data on /dev/mmcblk1p3 or p4 or something and just keep 1-2GB on p1 and some swap on p2.

At least this way you aren't wiping your SD card every time you want to update to the latest weekly image.
