Maemo 2.0 would take it closer, with real package management. It is even today
an open product, you can get root and install whatever you want today :) but
remember the hardware limitations of the device itself :)

can you be more specific ???

I can remove all software for which I cannot access and re-publish the
source code and all of the hardware capabilities (power management,
DSP and whatever other little doodads Nokia packed in there) are still
accessible; I can compile a kernel and a corresponding initfs and root
fs from source. Etc.
