The HW will still be supported but there's apparently some interesting
changes that need to be made with jtags in some cases. By "support" we
mean "here's an image and you do this with livecd-tools to a SD card,
plug it in and boot" as opposed to devices being able to be made to
work by some more complex means. IE Supported devices for basic users.
Sure. The Plug computers will never be as easy as devices with a UI.
But it would still be nice to at least be able to say "install this root
FS onto an SD / USB drive and then do X, Y, and Z in your Uboot config
to get it to boot". And have the kernel be on the SD/USB instead of
nand flash. (I'm pretty sure that the plugs can boot off SD or USB).
