I would expect them to laugh at you.

Why would they want to cripple their product by restricting themselves to the set of interfaces Luke has chosen.

Intel operates under a totally different set of constraints from Luke. If Luke wants to make a successor to his compute cards he needs to find a new SoC that has the right set of interfaces. If Intel wants to make a successor to their compute cards they can ensure that one of their upcoming SoCs has the right set of interfaces.
