Hi Stefan, thank you for sharing your perspective, which happens to be perfectly aligned with my original posting.

The participation and enthusiasm shown in this roadmap thread nicely underlines what you just said. :-) So I'm all fine with further nurturing our small and pleasant community. > Technically, the biggest issue to me is still the driver ecosystem. > Hereby, we already discussed (offline) alternative approaches for > cheaper Linux device driver ports, which I would like to follow. > > The further marriage of the x86 and ARM driver ecosystem is another > heartfelt wish of me.

The Linux driver topic makes a recurring appearance. I'm happy about this resonance. The more developers getting involved in the topic, the better. The platform-driver topic is not glamourous but very important.
