It's a last-gen device. Why not interpret the lack of fanfare -- by design, a user won't even notice the swap -- as a soft launch?

The smart home space has always been a shit show, from the radios up. It's a separate bag of rats from launching a research OS on real hardware.

I quite agree that this un-developable device issue is an IoT issue not really a Fuchsia issue. But it is also demonstrative a bit of some of the unique role Fuchsia has for us, what life after Android Things looks like.
