A possible incentive for Purism might be if GTA04A5 could deliver fast. The fate of Librem 5 hangs on multiple (arguably thin) threads, one of which being existence of Phone-oriented software for Mainline linux, and if geeks had access *soon* to a tinkerphone, that would likely boost developer time poured into KDE and GNOME and Enlightenment and other efforts in supporting Phone environments. Can you try estimate a timeframe of realizing GTA04A5, from the moment money is magically no longer an issue? - Jonas P.S.
