I guess that's an old habit from maintaining open-source projects, fully disclosed & all transparent policy sometimes make things overly complicated. My apologies for the bad writing ;-)

I'm also excited about Pi4, but on the other hand worried about thermal issue...

Because the boot loader is locked, so does its launcher, unless LauncherHijack installed and abuses Accessibility feature to draw Overlays on top of your screen....

Speaking of modifying existing hardwares, Nexus 7 is my personal favorite: http://i.imgur.com/8H9LH9U.jpg

What projects do you need a tablet and you need it unlocked?

[penkia → charlesju]

Anything related to flashing eMMC, anything kernel related, especially KMS/DRM, bionic libc... etc.

If you don't find it limited with locked device, you're simply not playing hard enough. :-))
