I respectfully disagree. It can only serve to discourage people.

Actually more than one:
  • device prevalence among user/developers, used to determine how many users have each device, and how many developers are willing to work on particular device.
  • possible future developments, depending on above situation.
Bikeshedding can be fun, but at the end of the day you cannot direct volunteer efforts by popular vote. Actual progress only happens by people who work on what they find interesting/fun or scratches their itch. The role of maemo.org should be to support all such endeavours, within reason.

I own N810, and are naturally interested as both user and developer (provided that there are enough developers willing to work on it as well).
If there is a specific area you want to work on, go for it! Others may join or not, but if you scratch your itch and have some fun or learn something new in the process who cares?
