Yes it is good news...
But unless you have a freerunner to put the board in...you are making your own case....
Which...makes it pretty much 99% of the buyers...
Lack of QWERTY? ...
Lack of body is more the case...
Selling just boards...as good as they are...as fabulous as they may indeed may be...
Relegates them to the DIY section of popular mechanics at the back of the magazine beside the ads for 1001 experiments with electricity kits and how to turn a potato into an FM radio...
Pardon my vitriol ...and dark humour...
I imagine I myself will end up wanting ...or having no other alternative but to go down this DIY Linux road...
But really...what made me post...

That's all I have to say to that...

until it is on the shelf...I won't touch it.
