The change is a new name and a new theme. So, same management, same servers, same menu. New paint, new tablecloths, new neon out front. No dismantling.

It's like Windows XP and then Vista. People are going to show up for the old operating system and told to go to the new operating system. They are then going to decide whether they LIKE the new operating system. Some will decide not to move on or to go elsewhere. This does not necessarily benefit the company or community making the change.

Most users probably won't notice the change in URL, or site name, and instead just notice a new theme. This theme will be consistent with the rest of maemo.org (which can be seen under development at http://newstyle.maemo.org/ and the design discussions on -community).

Ultimately, account merging makes sense, but there're some practical difficulties.
Or are you talking about displaying a user's karma in their post header? There was no conclusion on having consistency with the designed maemo.org user profile, but is it something to have any concerns about?

(And I'd have hoped I could finally get rid of my two nicks and merge them to one... So I'll have to wait for that.)
