With the existing distribution, you can get linux booted, but it's
not very stable and isn't featureful yet.
The port is stagnated. It wouldn't take much effort to make the patches
compile against a recent kernel and the infrastructure is there in OE to
build the images. It just needs some time and TLC. I might try and
generate some updated kernels/images as I'd not like to see the port
die...
The killer was always the lack of wifi. The hx4700 has working wifi now
so I'm hoping we could get a wifi driver based on that work. The problem
is the hx2xxx accesses the wifi in a totally different way. I don't know
if we will be able to get it to work easily or not. If we had wifi, it
would make the port much more useful.

The real killer is lacks of documentation, I mean, I try to build system
using OE about a week, but I can't, because of error during compile linux
kernel and I don't know what to do. It will be good to have small document
about how to use monotone and bitbake with OE distribution with concrete
examples (update repository, revert patches, better to all common tasks).
I do not understand directory structure of building tree - need explanation,
where to put my own patches, how to prevent is to deleted by bitbake or
monotone. And so on ... These problems stops me, and I think I am not the
only one.
