The difference to the Neo900 is, there it was always clear, that mainline compatibility was an essential target. And there was progress towards reaching that target. That point was crucial to me when I invested in the project. My investment was more into the spirit than into the device.
(That it didn't materialize in the end is a different story.)

Here I don't know so far, if mainline compatibility is even an actual goal someone seriously has on his radar.

True.
But it would be nice to know now, if mainline compatibility is actually something that is considered during the design process or if it would merely be an afterthought in case it happens at all.
