And this is exactly why having just a handful of developpers actually harm the community as a whole. I personnally don't want to focus on a 2 years old SoC, especially when it is the end of a line, and we won't be able to use any work we're doing on newer SoCs. I don't want to force anyone to do this work either. We're a hobbyist community, I think to forcing anyone to work on something would be really counter-productive, and would just result in that anyone leaving our community. However, if any of you is interested in working on those features, it would be very welcome additions. And if even only half of you start actually working on something, instead of complaining that we're not doing it right, I'm pretty confident the last missing features will be figured out very quickly.
