Roadmap 2023

the last statement is everything I was hoping for. Given your first-hand 
experience with new DDE-Linux approach, this verdict means a lot to me.

This also makes me hopeful for the next round of an update of the 
DDE-Linux PC drivers, which should be definite part of our road map.

Given your invaluable contribution to the PinePhone topic - speaking of 
camera, GPU, and audio - your further engagement in these areas would be 
very welcome as well.

The other two topics mentioned (NVMe and AMD) leave me a bit uncertain 
regarding the road map. I already expressed my weariness regarding AMD 
in my reply to Alex, and I must confess my lack the expertise about 
NVMe. How would you describe the practical benefits of the mentioned 
NVMe features for Genode users at large, for advertising them on the 
road map?

Cheers
Norman
