Oh no... the sky is falling! More fear mongering. More false-leading information. Really? 3 of the 4 non-null options in your survey are negatively worded?
I wonder if anyone will bother to list up their ports that were re-compiled from already existing source code from an X86 Linux repository.
Sheesh - all of this because of the mere consideration of an alternate SoC. Amazing.
Nobody has declared which SoC will get used. There have been several put forward for -honest- consideration. Several have already flunked for various reasons (availability, cost, heat, Linux support, open/closed drivers, etc...)
Why is yet another thread necessary?
