Overall IMO this, and the newly-announced IPO, will put pressure on Upton and team to crank up the innovation.
RPi Foundation has been building selling *huge* numbers of boards for embedded applications to industrial customers. I haven't heard about an IPO, but I suspect it will allow RPi Foundation to focus on educational issues and applications and the spin-off commercial organization can focus on industrial issues and applications, as well as (I imagine) help sponsor RPi Foundation.
