Very sad news

i'm not sure it is that bad, of course it is bad temporarily.
if i got it correctly, mobian will or may be stuck to the 6.1 kernel, so mobian will be partially supported, and they may take megi's kernel. and there is other distros like archlinux, manjaro, pmos and others. probably mostly uses megi's kernel, i think there going to be some kind of options, and partial support.
my guess is that sunxi devices would be out after 2 years anyway, because of very slow cpu, i don't think pp regular can last very long.
so, bigger issue is, does this limited development spread into pp pro and rockchip devices. i think this is a possibility. in a worst case scenario, it is end of pinephone regular and pro. but if rockchip development continues, then we have supported device or devices, although slightly pricier.
i know it takeas years, but risc-v cpu sounds interesting, so new device based on risc-v might be possible.
