They have contracts with both commercial enterprise Linux vendors, and
thus money on the line. They have to support them first, officially.

Probably nobody here with hands-on yet.
I'd think HP has an evaluation program. Talk to your sales rep. Get
one and bang on it. If you can't get Wheezy to work send it back and
order more G7s. Or, you could simply have them swap out the mezzanine
board for the adapter model you're currently using. I'd assume they
didn't change their mini PCIe socket format breaking backward compatibility.
