@[email protected] It would still be end-of-life from lack of development or releases for the firmware and drivers even if it was fully open source. It wouldn't be possible for us to take over development of everything and we don't receive the security issue reports for it. Additionally, building firmware updates requires the signing keys for that and we don't have those so having the sources doesn't allow us to build firmware updates in general. The signing is important for security for a lot of firmware.
