Well there is a point in this.
Developers have a very sporty attitude, appreciating challenges and opportunities, many times just for the joy of cracking things.
If prices go down, it may be that some developer picks up the glove of something "impossible" and devote some time to working on Ermine on an Edge.
(Also, some generous former engineer at Edge could want to throw us a bone with tips or clues about Ermine development. We can also use the mafia to persuade them to collaborate, but there might be a budgeting problem with this. Last time I checked the mafia job portal, they were not even bothering replying 50 bucks job posts.)
Nevertheless, as far as motivations and spirit goes, people who have a zest for these things can be inclined to do the most painstaking tasks just for the pleasure of it.
(On a different level, I can spend many hours in holidays time unknotting a mess of wool just for the pleasure of fixing something wrong, or laying out in the most precious terms a txt rare book I found at Gutemberg project, just for the pleasure of improving things. People not only does things for money or immediate profit.)
So this is possible. Developers are a special kind of people, I have come to know firsthand.
