Have a look to the section

In the end I think what would be realistically possible ...
is that Nokia provides one person whose sole task is to support the
community by mantaining the closed code and providing new binaries that
link against recent libraries. The community would still be able to set
the direction for the development and ask for updates, so that these
closed areas would not hold back work done in the open part. Which is
the majority.

Maybe you "as community" should "ask for updates" on maemo-developers 
list?
