This is not exactly true. The main and important points are in OP. The situation is still in flux. But mainly, this is a call for help. What ends up being "Supported" really depends upon who steps up and for what, as the small Armbian team have been quite over extended for some time already.

N.B. that "Supported" also has some specific meaning within Armbian. A big part of this whole initiative has also been trying to clarify and publish exactly what that does mean, as there has been a lot of confusion around the topic. Even if some boards are moved from "Supported" to "CSC" (Community Support), .debs will still be generated, board definitions will still exist within the build tool, etc.; it would only be complete flashable images which would go away from the projects download infrastructure (which is also being taxed heavily, see OP). You would still be able to use the build tool to make your own images. And yet I keep reading people saying "Armbian is dropping support!!!111!!!!" which simply is not true.

I am (nominally) the Armbian Maintainer for PineBook Pro (although severely lacking in time these days).
