Porting newer versions of Android is possible but obsolete hardware might not provide a smooth user experience. Not to mention ICS & JB that require hardware acceleration. Those would be extremely unusable on such dated hardware.

they don't want to update all devices because they want to force customers to buy new devices with the update.
thedon't want to upgrade Galaxy S customers because they want them to buy a Galaxy S2/3/nexus

Still not too happy at the cm team for dropping support on the nexus one

Get over it, the Nexus One had a crippling lack of storage. Gingerbread is exactly where the Nexus will stay.

Sure, at the cost of making it so that removing your SD card would likely cause the whole phone to crash and go into reboot loops until you put it back in, pulled the battery, and starting the phone back up.
Not enough internal storage is crippling, and devices from the Nexus One era all have this lack of storage. Since no one is updating a Snapdragon S1 phone to ICS, it's all going to be very hacked together and not a particularly good daily driver anyways.

The beauty of android, if you're determined, even one of the oldest devices can run the latest software .... can't say that about a certain sue happy company can we?

And they said the Galaxy S and Optimus 2X can't run ICS? LOL'D

Optimus 2X doesn't have the right drivers from nvidia right now. optimus 2x uses the older tegra 2 drivers that werent designed for ICS.
And althought there are so many unofficial jb/ics ports on xda of 2x/g2x all of use hax/gb drivers and thats why their ports aren't that complete
Galaxy S, I see no reason why not. Evo design can have it well galaxy s should have it too. well theres always unofficial on xda right now

Eh, my Sony Tablet S using Tegra 2 runs ICS perfectly.

even the nexus s which is a carbon copy of the hardware of the gs has jellybean.

jelly bean is really smooth and fast on my device. project butter works and my device has same processor with G1 so with optimuzation and over clock, it should run jelly bean pretty awesomely except video play back which this device will never have because of lack of drivers
plus, the suystem partition is too small for google now
