BTW., this has been a problem with Nokia from the beginning. Phones that shipped with S60 v3.0, and couldn't get S60 v3.1. It is not specific to Maemo, but with Maemo 6 and Meego, Nokia should really reconsider this.

Investing resources to keep the value of older devices doesn't cannibalise your new products, it cannibalises your competitors (those who don't support their devices for longer) devices, because it increases your total market share / audience, and drives demand for newer devices (by allowing owners to recoup some value from their old devices).

Nokia should make Harmattan available for N900. Even for a small fee.

that's why redhat has decided NOT to release the code of their updates anymore, so that Oracle would have to reverse engineer the updates from the updated source code & couldn't simply take over the updates in binary anymore...
I have to correct some of this:
1)Red Hat did not stop providing the source for updates. They changed how patches in their kernel src.rpm are provided (now as one single large patch, instead of individual patches). In the majority of cases, Red Hat provides the fix in upstream git *first* in any case.
2)Red Hat did not do this because of how Oracle uses Apache (legally, the way Apache is licensed, under a non-copyleft licence), but because Oracle has been taking patches directly from Red Hat's 2.6.18 kernel for RHEL5 and applying them to Oracles 2.6.32 kernel, while advertising it as binary compatible in order to steal customers from Red Hat (by providing support contracts for RHEL to existing Red Hat customers), instead of basing their work on upstream like most respected players.
