Thank you for you willingness to do this!

I think the reports would still be somewhat useful, since at least anyone who is considering acquiring model X will be able to see the HCL report for model X before acquiring it. However, HCL reports for newer models are likely to be more useful than ones for older models, unless the older models are particularly popular for some reason. - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJYlzloAAoJENtN07w5UDAwHX4QAIUH183kbpYz/m4oK9Bl4w96 lpI18e+cS8nI6jirkX4Zkw/PNtj8F4eME3mE1dSapcUlo2h5IuBdJ4BgZvB7hK4D 6f08GuWJxQ5TJJCzM/k/YlYQD4KX+yQKsz5GLQ2vfFpFFec6UzA21r2Dkqs4nm9q TKEFvDzfgg6xcqOQRkAz3rfPvW3oF+/zDuPocb267EyXGkkc/rEoWAjrFWIxr2VX 0WMA2hIwIBLSpPsYAQayVBz2AcyWhAj5fvdDFaXlTzS8s6hJMYzz5hyf7lylYlHr YXEh/FU6BEqpegYIzYKom2Z25Vaigoal1UXNJdrrKNhOEi/dl7Xf6BFN/HCr5Rqh k4wrSKJwISBfXXPLW4xziUgJvTPg/3Sn+UdEo1qDjmUtwip0sttgHJYoH/CjsZ7x 9QjFMUiOlwh6/kpWnZLU9n1hOAdxvnF2FYei2oV+z/MNM6FtJFyOBlmmVeFsaXGc L7OkWBpUvj7vuBlhlaFh5My//GOwl0SQiwQxZMCyMqwn5maxZOGjabGlCXkPzNde RwwrueHxnAJpLNkwTLzeiciJlKJtwcJcvOsImftVZLLWJ/Es3sz7wMjwcdo/A5UP xKy7b9A52OvpvdWP65lB+DL/ojnJ+M6XtIHcjTrkX5QGBQ/VgF+gFGt/ziw9ey39 en81m8Yz07vmNfaZLSU6 =xZ5r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
