Can you explain in detail how these blobs are going to be maintained for the n900? For instance, many think the tearing problem (vsync ?) is caused by some graphics drivers that n900 owners don't have the source to. Is there a policy or procedure in place to address issues for these binary blobs? If not, and no one paid by Nokia is going to fix this code, I bet some of us would have no problem signing an NDA to help fix hacker versions of these things if need be.
