True, though the Pi Raspbian does include the full VM setup (currently a Cog Spur 34xx level vm), which means that a fairly small package of image/change/sources/tutorials/examples/support files is al lthat would be needed. Oh, wait, we don’t have a well thought out tutorial world.

By far the biggest problem would be raising money I fear. The foundation can’t offer any because it basically doesn’t have any. It’s just as well the SFC provide free hosting because we’d not be able to pay for commercial support.
