Raspberry Pi is planning a London IPO, but its CEO expects “no change” in focus (arstechnica.com)

The business arm of Raspberry Pi is preparing to make an initial public offering (IPO) in London. CEO Eben Upton tells Ars that should the IPO happen, it will let Raspberry Pi's not-for-profit side expand by "at least a factor of 2X." And while it's "an understandable thing" that Raspberry Pi enthusiasts could be concerned, "while I'm involved in running the thing, I don't expect people to see any change in how we do things."

Again, I’m against the IPO. Never brings good.

I don’t disagree with your points re:fairness and the community goodwill.

I think they still are the only game in town for my usecases. The support and “just works” factor is unmatched.

And with the Hock Tan era Broadcom, you’re not going to see another bcm based design upstart.

Hopefully RISC-V can ramp up and provide a viable alternative in the near term, with an AMD or something willing to provide some resources.
