And given that there is no way to guarantee that a Mainboard doesn't get removed, we'd also need to watch what is happening with the GM45 Thinkpads as well, as this problem also affect these computers.
Could you elaborate on this? I'm not aware of any planned changes that would result in GM45 being dropped. Is it just about finding people to provide support for those boards/chipset? And if so, does the same not apply to other older chipsets like i945 or x4x? Or even Sandy/Ivy Bridge?
Maintained boards/computers can be removed (that happened to the APU1), because the fact that a computer is maintained only gives some guarantees that patches will be reviewed.
I guess the question was why you were pointing at GM45 in particular. I'm wondering, too.
