I never understood this project. Maybe I'm missing something, but the timescale is such that by the time they're done the product isn't even being sold anymore

At least with Panfrost it made more sense bc it still being used

M1 chip laptops can only be bought second hand at this point

When the next gen chip comes out you can usually reuse large amount of stuff.

"usually" being compared to what..?

Maybe it's just due to a complete lack of attention, but I think M3/4 support is extremely minimal at this point. Which is not a great sign..
