Well, that makes it a lot less interesting than I hoped it would be.
For most people I'd assume the main thing is that the architecture is well documented and open, as well as the board, and they have released all of the architecture documentation and a lot of other material.
As much as it'd be great to have a market in other sources for the chips, unless/until the architecture has some traction that is pretty irrelevant.
