Actually, Cyanogen brings Froyo to several devices that would otherwise have never seen an official update. The MyTouch, G1, and Hero were never slated to receive an update. Also, Cyanogen is a modified but mostly vanilla AOSP ROM, where most of these HTC phones would receive some variant of either the Sense UI or the MT3G UI. The Cyanogen devs have accomplished a major feat by moding AOSP 2.2 to run on phones with no documentation or other support from the hardware vendors.
