That's rather my point. The biggest issue with the Pi3B+ is Chromium
performance. Unless there's some improvement I see little incentive
to fix what isn't otherwise broken. I watched the blog twice and
didn't see anything relevant to video or chromium.

Under Stretch the "experimental GL driver" outperformed the legacy
driver by a considerable margin. Now (under Buster) it's unusable,
freezing when Chromium encounters web pages I visit frequently.

If it turns out that all upgrades/fixes will be available only under
the new name there's obviously no choice. No clear word on that.

Thanks for writing!
