I have no decision-making power over tech issues, but am generally
familiar with the state of discussion of tech issues. No, we have not
committed. It is, as you say, extremely difficult.
The FreedomBox will depend in large part on what the community creates.
We are interested in ways to create autonomy from centrally controlled
structures. As the possiblity horizon on this moves (e.g. because this
community moves it), FreedomBox Foundation will of course consider new
developments with great interest. But so far no committments have been
made one way or another.
