The RaQ4s seem to be still supported.  Of course they'll reach
end-of-life, and will stop being supported at some point after that, but
that's at some point in the future.

I've discussed with several people the possibility of developing our own
upgrade path for the RaQ4... I just don't know if enough people will be
interested to make it commercially viable.  Yes, it would have to cost
something; it's a lot of work.

There's a thread on cobalt-security (albeit, an offtopic thread)
discussing installing slackware on a Raq4.  I'll be discussing the
possibility this opens up with the folks at Plesk early next week.
