Traffic? Which traffic?

This is what I also thought.

Indeed. I also, happen to be somewhat bitter about this lamentable lack 
of information on chip progress. I mean: FORTH is pretty exotic already, 
must this be further aggravated by lack of user support? With virtually 
no data sheets I can live with. But relying on on a single source, with 
no detailed information nor progress info forthcoming, while in dire need to 
choose a reliable hardware platform to develop a product? Scusi, but I am 
not mad. If this goes on for some more time, I have to choose an 
off-shelf embedded controller. My financers won't wait much longer.

This will exclude the Forth option, but it will keept the product alive.

I think i21 won't, but F21 will (provided, I'll ever live to see it).

Seconded fully.
