The N9 is soon here, and when it happens, I know I for one, would like to do all sorts of crazy things with my N900, like installing Android, or WinXP or whatever. I sure couldn't care less for Meamo. But I would like a Pr1.3 before that happends.
Though I agree with your sentiment regarding Android on the N900, it is neat and all. Maemo is not so much dead as it is evolving. The next device will run Harmattan, which is far more Maemo than it is MeeGo. So Maemo isn't really dead yet. And as long as these devices are supported by the community through SSU an until a decent MeeGo instance is available this place will continue to stay alive.

My issue is with those, like the OP, fanaticism that I don't much appreciate.
