 they'll manage to convince a lot of people.  what particularly pisses
me off is that they could actually sell a variant *without* WIFI and
BT - at all - and get RYF Certification as a result - and the people
who then really wanted it could use the OTG port in Host Mode and plug
in an RYF-Certified ThinkPenguin TP150N (AR9271).
