If you go to a Nokia shop with such a MeeGo powered N900, you will likely get blank stares and be suggested to flash back to Maemo.
Just to be clear on this, I'm sure that the N900 MeeGo DE will never be offered as an automatic update within Maemo-powered N900s. Like with the CSSU, the user will need to do some manual work to put the N900 MeeGo DE onto their device.
