So it does not look like Pinephone users will get any support in future.
Is this true at all, and what does everybody else think about it?
should the discussion be here.

in short, unfornately it is true, though pp regular only. i think this a start of an end to allwiner a64 cpu devices, which use sunxi modifications. however, do not panic, for short time pp regular is usable. btw, i think it is all distros more or less.
this has one implication, i'm not very likely going to buy yet another pp regular.
