Again, I’m against the IPO. Never brings good.

I don’t disagree with your points re:fairness and the community goodwill.

I think they still are the only game in town for my usecases. The support and “just works” factor is unmatched.

And with the Hock Tan era Broadcom, you’re not going to see another bcm based design upstart.

Hopefully RISC-V can ramp up and provide a viable alternative in the near term, with an AMD or something willing to provide some resources.
