Retired product :
Perhaps Limor "Ladyada" Fried has the answer.
She is a business woman.
She invested in production lines only if she is ensured to regain its investment.
Ie only if product sales will be sufficient.
If not she cut into diseased branches.
It will get used to see in her the new boss of Arduino-USA products line.
By making war, the founders ( Banzi, Martino) lost.
Now decision will be taken by the industry: Limor Fries, Musso and perhaps Seedstudio.
