I stopped because I thought there was no sense in working on yet another dead hardware platform, and was waiting and hoping for good news to start working on the G2 hardware. Now I'm afraid the G2 is as dead as the G1 for my use case. Even if we were able to do an open boot as I described above, only a couple of people would dare to do it.

I would buy another G2 just for that purpose, just like I did a second 50g for newRPL, for which many thanks.

It's much more likely that someone would buy a pre-modded G2 with newRPL installed that could be easily updated with new code releases. Compare the price of a new G2 to that of a DM42, and have a look at Eric's ready-built WP34 for some ideas of feasibility.
