There are some interesting criticisms; I don't think they invalidate
the raison d'etre of Raspberry Pi, which is to have something cheap
enough to not worry about experimenting with it.  But Steinar suggests
that these systems are not quite suitable to be made into "general
purpose" systems, and that there are some fairly significant
limitations, which is likely so.
