 As the next step, someone needs to do the work of tracking down and debugging
 all of the issues seen in the gcc-built version, and make it work as well as
 the original TMS470-built configuration.  However, I (Mother Mychaela) am not
-currently allocating my time toward that work because I see other directions
-within the greater FreeCalypso family of projects as being more important.
-Specifically, I see the following as much higher priorities compared to
-gcc-built firmware:
-
-* Getting our FCDEV3B V2 boards made to prove my proposed fix for the sleep
-  mode bug, and if they work as expected, we'll need to make more FreeCalypso
-  modem hw in various form factors and put that hw into the hands of end users.
-  Software or firmware without hardware to run it on is useless no matter how
-  good or how free/libre it is, hence it makes no sense to me to worry whether
-  our fw is built with gcc or with TI's TMS470 compiler until the hardware
-  that's needed to run it is made in greater volume and placed into the hands
-  of people who would appreciate it.
-
-* Getting the digital voice channel over MCSI working, which is a prerequisite
-  before we can repackage our FreeCalypso modem into a module form factor which
-  could then be marketed to communities like Neo900 and Librem 5 as a drop-in
-  replacement for the 100% closed and proprietary modem modules they use
-  currently.
-
-* Building our long-planned FreeCalypso Libre Dumbphone hardware, so we can
-  have a complete phone without needing someone else like Neo900 or Librem 5 or
-  ZeroPhone to provide an application processor front-end to our modem.
-
-Anyone else who feels that whipping the gcc-built fw version into shape should
-be a higher priority has two options: either do the work themselves (the code
-is free for everyone), or pay Falconia Partners LLC to elevate the priority of
-this gcc-built fw work.
+currently willing to work in that direction until and unless we recover some
+original authentic versions of os_???.c and osx.c modules - the reconstructions
+from 2014 which are used in the present FC Selenite experimental source tree
+(same as Citrine) aren't good enough.
