As the Raspberry Pi evolves into more powerful and consumer-friendly devices like the RPi 500, how can the foundation continue to nurture its educational mission and community goodwill without being overshadowed by industrial and commercial demands?
Perhaps the smart people running Raspberry Pi will retain the Foundation name for furthering its educational mission and set up a separate company to manage the design, manufacture, distribution and support of hardware, for industrial, commercial and 'hobbyist/enthusiast' markets alike. They could call the latter 'Raspberry Pi Ltd.'
