That was my point too in my proposing to raise the bar now: I no longer 
see the benefit of tracking boards that are less ideal when we have 
adequate options that are more ideal.

I am quite interested in Sunil elaborating, and others chiming in too, 
on reasons to keep tracking lesser ideal options.

One argument could be that SATA port is important, and raising the bar 
to "must be OSHW" leaves us with SATA-enabled boards from only a single 
vendor.

Other arguments?

Opinions on priority of arguments?

NB! Please limit to arguments and priorities sensible to apply *now* 
with *existing* board options (reflections on theoretic principles 
disconnected from current FreedomBox and currently available boards in a 
separate thread, please).
