Why couldn't N8x0 boot Fremantle?

Can Harmattan be run on N900?

I think this topic is still relevant.

In short: Fremantle uses GLES.
Soon same fate will happen to N900. Can Harmattan be run on N900? Or maybe Fremantle can be booted on N9? Is it just an 'impossibility' for community to upgrade all packages (with closed source packages, very likely, yes)? Or is hardware the real blocking agent?
