Does the following thread posting on talk.maemo.org help clarify the
possible relationship between the N900 and MeeGo?

Maemo 6 and/or MeeGo on N900: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and
Love the Bomb

Okay, Listen very carefully I shall say this only once.

EDIT: For those too damn lazy to read the whole post, please read:
You're in good hands. Stop worrying. Your N900 won't break when Maemo6
or MeeGo comes out, or be less useful. If you want details, read the
post.
[...]
Now, can we please stop worrying about all this stuff and love the
fact we're having a device as open as a PC to bring us things when a
corporate entity might not - and a community capable of bringing us
the features anyway? And that we are getting a fully open platform
(MeeGo) that we can easily get on our devices. And even so, Maemo5 has
a -long- life ahead of it still. You aren't getting forgotten after
this announcement.

My recommendation is to start asking this set of questions in a
constructive manner. Panicking isn't the solution here - look at
what's actually possible and what -you- can do to help the situation.
Panicking sure doesn't help the situation and just creates noise so
nothing gets done.
