of that.

If the specualtion in this thread so far is accurate then the N900 is likely to suffer a *lot* in order to run MeeGo. In particular, the proposal seems to be to put the whole filesystem on the plug-in memory card. This has many advantages (including simplicity, and the ability to multiboot back to Maemo 5, and no /opt problem whether ext3 or btrfs is used) but it will have a couple of major disadvantages: (i) speed, and (ii) losing the ability to use removable memory cards.

I agree with that decision but we need to realise that that is fine as a test system for developers, but is not a supportable end user configuration.

agreed,
for end user configuration (whenever possible in the future), rootfs could be on emmc (not as fast as NAND but better than mmc card) and plus we have the ability to use mmc card.
