Martin, but you know that the smaller Olimex Lime/Lime2 boards all expose 160 GPIO pins? Allwinner's reference design was single-sided, the Pine64 is as well. It's all about costs (and margins).
Anyway: I don't get why people discuss/justify the size of the board that was known from the beginning and is easy to understand when you turn it just around. When looking at the several POT Add-ons the larger size also has its advantages too.
There are other areas that need attention. The lack of documentation, the fact that only the manipulated/wrong/crappy/bloated OS images are promoted instead of the original. The easy ways to avoid the 'DOA experience'...
