No worse or better than any other system; the point is precisely that
it's a pretty standard Linux system (if rather low-powered). Why do
you think specifically it's a good target? If Frank builds on GNU, it
should be straightforward to build it for R-Pi…

(I think Raspberry Pi, other than its unfortunate reliance on non-free
software, is an excellent thing; I know Eben Upton, who is behind it,
and was fortunate enough to see his first tiny computer prototype some
years ago. I'm very excited about its aim of getting more children
interested in programming. I'm just not sure what the connection is
here, other than the obvious one of new, simpler models of programming
and children.)

That's entirely intentional, right down to the model A being the one
very few people will probably buy!
