I see you've been taking lessons from politicians (clearly poli/polly -
from 'to parrot' ;) ), pity. Here have a cracker...

Lets try that again

I'm not trying to start a fight or a flamewar, I'm genuinely interested
in the directions as the board see it, especially given the hardware
situation is not as was stated.

Even on Linux
 Intel - no psb/mrst support (eg Dell mini 10)
 Nvidia - many cards x86 only
 AMD/Ati - similar situation, HD cards last time I checked not all
 	supported

Is this "the xyz is still supported in" seen as a short term thing where
the panel rapidly gets deprecated/misses features or a long term path ?
