fit-PC or fitlet with RISC-V64GC processor?

You guys already have most of what is needed for a computer with an Open Sourced CPU.
At present, no one else makes a desktop RISC-V computer. There is one that can be turned into a desktop computer, but it's clumsy and costly. At present, everything else is for IoT or other embedded uses. (Like what nVidia and Western Data are doing.)
Without a usable desktop, (or small server), RISC-V software development for kernel and support hardware is going slowly.
If you make it was the same I/O as say a fit-PC4, that would allow the new computer to be quite usable. Perhaps not fine tuned as existing, (and not as fast).
So what do you think?
