They will fragment the Maemo 5 community unless the auto-builder will 
build across both repos, as I will not be updating my apps on a "Legacy" 
repo if one is created.

The way you propose makes it seem like Nokia is releasing a whole new 
Maemo version (Maemo 5 -> Maemo 5.99), which is not what should be 
visible to the end-user. Maemo 5 should continue being Maemo 5.
