You're aware N900 OS aka maemo is a) FOSS, and b) EOL at least from Nokia's 
POV? So there's neither "product development" nor any _'official'_ support 
involved.
And c) we (community) already _did_ use it since it was the only chance to 
make hostmode sort of work for N900, it's not like we could redesign N900 
hardware to support regular hostmode, we need to work with what RL gave us. 
It evades me why you discourage resp reject this established solution. 
Just Nokia not supporting hostmode evidently doesn't mean we can't get 
anything done, and I don't see why we should refrain from doing so.
