Clive,

It seems to me you have every right to be angry about recent
developments, and as far as I'm concerned you're the Saint ... but as
they say "it's enough to try the patience of a Saint" and how you've
managed to hold your tongue in public I really don't know. 

F'wit is the right word. Surely anyone with the an iota of common sense
would realise the relative immaturity of software development on ARM
based devices in general and how dependent it is on Community effort for
each specific device.  In all cases, it has been hardware first and
software second. If you buy into the ARM World, you buy into that risk,
and as far as running Linux is concerned, it's not really for the
non-technical user (or those who are not prepared to put the effort in
to learn enough to use it).  Except, of course, when one or more
talented people get together to give of their expertise and time freely
for the benefit of others.

I'll leave you to do the important things, but I'm keen to hear you
answer.  

In the meantime, I'd like to think I'm speaking for the silent majority
when I say a lot of people still want this project to succeed in
whatever shape or form is possible, and hopefully they will continue to
offer whatever support, morale or practical, they can.  I'm just a
talentless old schmuck with a smattering of Linux, but if there's
anything I can do to stop this project being flushed down the bog, just
ask.
