This is an important point. Will it be part of a future update? I was under the impression that rhombus-tech would be producing and selling products *without* the certification mark to jump-start a market where others would produce and apply for the certification mark.
If a different entity out of this community must take over the flagship of the first mass-produced products, I'm confident the research and information developed up to the point of shipping to backers is enough to facilitate that happening. I do however wonder who is going to be doing it.
