I agree absolutely with the idea that the motherboard follow some long-term standard form factor, perhaps identical to RockPro64 or Quartz, even the same board, but with the tall I/O sockets replaced with connectors for circuit tapes which would connect to case-mounted ports in order to reduce board height within the case. The objection that newer boards would be much smaller pales to insignificance when you realise how much of the interior of the PInebook Pro's case is already vacant real estate. They can stay the same size, almost forever, because the space available is dictated by the size of the screen and keyboard, which dictate the form factor. Vertically, there's little more height to be saved unless the cast magnesium case be made so thin that it becomes impossibly delicate.
