No, my involvement with anything Geode and OLPC ended years ago. Feel
free to remove me from MAINTAINERS (unless someone has specific
questions about hardware, which I'm happy to answer).

Personally I don't know anyone, but I feel like those Geode thin clients
are more likely to still be in use. A machine with 256MB of ram in 2026
is going to be an absolutely miserable laptop to use, but that's still
fine for a limited router or wifi access point. If you remove/disable
the Geode stuff, you probably won't hear complaints until the next major
OpenWRT release, though.
