Implausible. Doesn't make sense.

See comment #137. I'm sure A-Eon would and could have sold some more X1000, but the availability/pricing of the PA6T really got too bad.

Implausible, as U-Boot for the X5000 is maintained by A-Eon (see also comment #137).
> 8) Hyperion pretend they can continue
Costel says that Hyperion is ready and it's A-Eon's turn now (interrupt issue, maybe board redesign if parts aren't available anymore, board production).

The MAC address issue is specific to the X5000, so only 1 Olsen required for this.

See comment #137.

2/10 without objection from my side :-)
