Are you a politician by chance?
As I understand it Andre only mentioned the board because it long in production in opposite to what people claim about X86/X64 boards. Some even say ARM or X86/x64 custom hardware would be as expensive as custom PPC hardware. That might be but who on earth would even think about building custom hardware when there are plenty of choices available.
So (in short) Andre mentioned it because of the long period it is available and not because it is the best choice on market.
