I'd say it's too underpowered. Another problem is that it's hard-float but 
only ARMv6. We want to limit the number of ARM platforms. We hoped that it 
would be possible to provide packages for a single platform, but then we 
discovered that we need at least two: hard- and soft-float. We want to 
target ARMv7 in order to get decent performance, so Raspberry Pi would be 
a third platform. We also know from earlier tests that it's too slow for 
most ThinLinc scenarios. There are other boards now which are much more 
powerful but still cheap.

Regards,
Peter
