I was on FLOSS Weekly yesterday, and had a great time talking with @dsearls and @shawnp0wers.
Check it out to hear me talk about the chip supply chain crisis in toilet paper terms, my history with and vision for convergence, and culture clashes in the FLOSS community.

@testman That sort of approach does seem appealing at first, and we have discussed similar solutions internally over the years since we started Librem 5 development.
The challenge ends up being, as you say, that you end up with a custom Librem-5-shaped hole that then locks you into a certain size going forward, at least without careful engineering.
Well that and in my case you lose the 2nd display as you turn it into a touchpad, and I tend to use my Librem 5 display all the time when docked.
