I know of several people who are convinced that any day now, there will <br>
be a sudden and unannounced switch off of maemo.org in order to drive^W <br>
restrict traffic to Ovi^W??? Store. For this reason they're running <br>
regular backups of the repositories, afraid that all the software will <br>
disappear.<br>
<br>

Anyway, for argument's sake, if we theorized that the future direction <br>
of maemo.org/maemo_OS isn't much of anything, is that reason enough to <br>
switch it off? There are still users of Maemo and Maemo devices, and I <br>
bet most aren't community active, or even have a t.m.o. account, garage <br>
account or maemo.org account, but still use hildon-application-manager <br>
or fapm. <br>

I guess if extras is costing real money, it must be heavily used still?<br>

Certainly the maemo operating system will see less development as cssu <br>
runs into more and more reverse engineering work in order to move <br>
forward, so the arguments about developer efforts being better spent on <br>
Mer/Neomobile are probably sensible.. Mer/Neomobile has a chicken-and-<br>
egg issue though, inertia keeping people on fremantle which is for many <br>
more day to day usable.<br>

seemed easiest path to get a workable pocket browser, pocket email, <br>
pocket computer than hacking on/cracking aegis-harmattan or android)<br>
