+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.
