This makes me to buy Motorola Droid 4 to run Maemo, it seems that it run SailfishOS too, so my only guestion is can I run both in same phone, just switching in boot?

Would be nice to here how many people you have got as an active core developers with Maemo Leste and about how many are doing some application porting stuff? Just to know a bit of the interest people have. And which groups or communities have announced their interest on Maemo Leste? To know what kind of support you have outside of this community. If there wouldn't be F(x) Pro 1 I bet you would have more people on your team.

Can I test Maemo-Leste if I have Fanoush's Boot Menu and not U-boot on my N900? Is there somekind real reason to use U-Boot?

u-Boot 'sits' where kernel normally sits, and gets loaded by the bootloader as if it is a real kernel. u-Boot then loads any normal kernel (Leste uses 5.x), and the rest is history ...
That said, the u-boot we use has Bootmenu built in, https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81613 . So yes, plain Bootmenu will not suffice for Leste.

- KERNEL VERSION: Fremantle - 2.6; Leste - mainline, currently 5.x
- SUPPORTED DEVICES: Fremantle - N900 only; Leste - any device with mainline kernel support
- FOSS STATUS: Fremantle - some components closed; Leste - fully FOSS
- PROJECT STATUS: Fremantle - dead/frozen; Leste - WIP and should be supported into the future since it's fully FOSS
- HARDWARE SUPPORT: Fremantle - complete support for N900 hardware; Leste - WIP since some components, esp. 3D accel are still being worked on kernel-side
And many more

From this thread I think it can be found that a lot of porting of fremantle apps have already been done and will be done more when Leste is running well. And I think there will be a lots of apps if Leste will be used on different devices so the user community grows and the interest from people having updated apps will lead developing them. Just a scenario but I believe it is plausible.
