My hope is that delay adds up to much more IO expansion, and a smaller node meaning similar performance per watt (or better) in the next Pi revision. Having the support of the Pi engineering team means a lot of small businesses and hobbyists who depend on certain bits of hardware actually working (and not just being features in a bullet list) can solve interesting problems more easily with a Pi than with other similar SBCs (many of which are now a bit faster).
