Why not Meson T7 with direct Mainline Kernel support at launch?

You have reason in that point:

I want to develop my custom Operating System for VIM4

I am looking for a board that will be in production for several more years. Its just too expensive to get stuff ready for Industrial use and the have the board sunset soon after. Not going to wait a couple of years for the OS to stabilize then try to bring it to market and have the board only be in production another year or so, it just does not make sense at all. We have wasted so much time already messing around with the OS issues its not even close to being funny.

But have many respect to @chewitt have followed his work along time
