alejandro: the point of the EOMA-68 initiative is that the exact same
board that is available for mass-production *is* the exact same board
for hobbyists and includes expansion headers.

 also the point is that those exact same hobbyists may consider
replacing a board with an allwinner SoC at a later date with another
EOMA-68 card with a better, faster or cheaper SoC.

 the closer that those hobbyists stick to the EOMA-68 standard of
course, the more chance they will have at not having to do any kind of
software upgrades, but sometimes that's not achieveable.
