Countdown until the project ONLY supports its own internal hardware.

It would probably get usurped and replaced by a fork. It is the primary distro used in much of the commercial embedded space at scale.

I wish they could influence the market to return to open source modems. I don't think there has been a single open design in over a decade; since the Atheros chips. Well likely see an Open Risc-V processor in the near term. It would be really nice to see a fully open hardware from bootloader to radios.
