I would not give up all hope yet. I took the news as a call for help. Hopefully people realize what is going on (please read linked articles) and some more people start to help out a little more. I myself am considering trying my hand at maintaining one or more boards that I own, apparently you do not need to be a kernel hacker necessarily to do this (I certainly am not!).
Anyway, I would appreciate if we could keep future posts on topic rather than on alternatives. It's honestly more than a little disappointing to me how quickly some people are willing to abandon Armbian after all the effort they have put forth for so many years. Which to me just proves they were/are right in their assessment of what they need to do, in order to maintain their own sanity.
I have seen too many good F/LOSS projects disappear over the years due to burnout. I hope this does not happen with Armbian, which is why I am trying to help get the word out about these (upcoming) changes.
