Any random board that *isn't* pre-2010 Intel or pre-2014 AMD?

I think the "Pwned" category is pretty well described.

Timothy: good work. Thank you for doing it.

Btw, about SBCs, might be worth seeing if the classifications used on
the FSF's SBC page, and those used within Coreboot (if Timothy's
proposal is adopted), could be harmonised. That would, I hope, improve
clarity/standardisation, and reduce confusion. I'm CC'ing Paul
Kocialkowsi, the maintainer of the FSF page.
