Thanks for supporting long-lived hardware. One existing favorite is the classic Lenovo X230/X430 series, which has seen several mods over the years, with a healthy resale market.

Do you plan to offer Pro/Enterprise CPUs (Intel vPro, Ryzen Pro), for h/w security features like memory encryption or Windows secured core / VBS?

For open-source firmware and kernel/hypervisor development, it would be good to have a serial port header.

The i7-1185G7 SKU supports vPro: https://frame.work/products/mainboard?v=FRANFG000C

We also have some additional debug support through a header that we've documented here: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController
