Raspberry Pi has saved the bacon of LMS. Look back a few years and think
how many people were saying that the server was the problem (and it was,
admittedly.)

There are now 2 mainstream protocols for home audio streaming, Airplay
and upnp. Until these make some progress (or we all evaporate into the
cloud), LMS with old hardware players is still a superior system. And
LMS can bridge to new hardware/services.

I don't count on boutiques to improve on upnp or airplay. I don't need
cloud lock-in on my property. I don't believe an SB hardware player will
ever happen again. 
We are in a stall and to me the end seems further than nearer. I think
we have to commend the way Logi still sticks to its "customers" (after a
string of errors or miscalculations of dire consequences.)
