I don't know HOW badly behaving the non-april boards are.. but I am sure they can't be totally unusable and can be used for developing older software (ImageFX, Magellan and such, even lesser hits..) that could sell copies when the platform grows.
Plus, does the bugs occure in Linux, or in MOS, or in both? Is there a way round it? Has such software patch been made?
All in all for a developer wanting to support a new platform it may not be that bad offer at all.
