A possible incentive for Purism might be if GTA04A5 could deliver fast.
The fate of Librem 5 hangs on multiple (arguably thin) threads, one of
which being existence of Phone-oriented software for Mainline linux, and
if geeks had access *soon* to a tinkerphone, that would likely boost
developer time poured into KDE and GNOME and Enlightenment and other
efforts in supporting Phone environments.
Can you try estimate a timeframe of realizing GTA04A5, from the moment
money is magically no longer an issue?

P.S. I am hired by Purism, but do not represent them here (expect me to
very explicitly state so if I ever get the priviledge of representing
Purism or any other corporation).
