this is telling me that MeeGo is not the 4.5th or 5th of 5 step to complete N900

the five step program is not about the N900.
the N900 is part of the five step program, more exactly the fourth.
meego is the fifth step, providing a platform which is entirely usable by the so-called "average-user".

Sorry, I think Electrolind just quoted the blog post from Valtteri. He's not Valtteri.

I think I've been reading peter shneider's comment's differently.

My take is that Harmattan/Maemo 6 was the step 5 of 5. However, Maemo 6 is now going to be MeeGo 1, which kind of implies that clock has been re-set and that what was Step 5 of 5 is now step 1 of something else.

a new Firmware is coming soon, providing some UI changes, the Qt 4.6 support built in, A LOT of bug-fixes and finally the ovi store.

you're right, too.
harmattan is the renamed maemo 6, now the first instance of meego (with still minor differences, like using .deb instead of .rpm in later versions of meego) just the name changed, the system is the same. so harmattan IS step 5 of maemo, IS step one of meego.

It amazes me how many people blew right past the clarification from STskeeps and zehjotkah. Come on people, slow down and read before going ballistic.

That is a message to people who bought the N900 that it's time for them to become developers because support for the N900 is going to disappear soon.

Do you agree with that message or not?
I think that's interpretation. I don't think letting the community handle things on their own is a bad thing. What is implied here is that if the community handles something, Nokia automatically drops EVERYTHING, and that's clearly not the case. Qt4.6, Qt Mobility, Flash 10.1 are all things that are/will be officially supported and coming from Nokia in the upcoming PR's for Maemo 5, which suggest that even there is a massive focus shift to MeeGo, there are still things happening on the N900 front. But if venting/ranting about speculations of what will (not) happen in 2011 makes people feel better (or simply want to commiserate a perceived injustice), that's OK, too - not really productive, though.
