[MinnowBoard] MinnowBoard scheduled for Obsolescence?

Currently shipping is the Minnowboard MAX.  It is based on the A2 (not v2) rev of the PCB.  It is being upgraded to A4; date still TBD.  A number of HW fixes are planned for A4.  CircuitCo manufactures this board.  It is my understanding that A4 will continue to be called the Minnowboard MAX.  The list of planned fixes can be found at this wiki: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Minnow_Bug_Triage

The Turbot has been announced by ADI, it is a pending compatible board.  Pending because it is not yet available in volume.  If it goes into volume and proves to be compatible as planned; which means the buses should behave the same as the MAX.  

There is a slight change to the LSB between the A2 and A4.   The Turbot also has this change.  It is documented at: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6865 but since neither board is in production yet; this is still an open item.  It is also discussed at: http://elinux.org/Minnowboard:MinnowMax

A number of 3D designs at this web site: http://elinux.org/Minnowboard:MinnowMax

Thanks,

Stephen

Thanks.

So Minnowboard MAX v2 will have an A4 board change. Will this be called Minnowboard MAX v3, or will this be the Turbot?

Could someone please explain where/how the newly-announced Minnowboard Turbot fits into the updated Minnowboard MAX?

What is the lure compatibility of upcoming A4-based MAX and Turbot to existing MAX v2 lures?

Also, is there any good enclosure for the current Minnows? The Netgate one looks nice, but it covers access to some ports.

Thanks!
Lee
