I’m somewhat incredulous that people would urge a complete redesign of a product that is potentially days away from shipping, likely already built. The only issue is how to manage upgrades, something that demonstrates some foresight!
I don’t think you redesign a product, even changing the chip set , when it is ready to market.
Validation of such a radical change would substantially delay delivery of the product to those who have already paid for it
My 2 cents,

I sit corrected. But I wonder what the wireless in the Pico will be used for? Have to wait and see!

Guys, let's not speculate, the designer is not a fool. You already know him from his earlier offerings.
I suggest, let's wait for the rollout and then discuss.
Right now we don't know much of what's in the offering. So have patience.?

Farhan explicitly stated the zBitx will have an RPi Pico W:
?
"Hence, the zbitx sports a new microcontroller, the Raspberry Pico W (with Wifi and Bluetooth on it!) that handles the front panel. This offloads the user interface to this microcontroller that handles the 3.5 inch TFT display. The two talk to each other over the I2C bus (Pi is the master, Pico is the slave)."

Clipped from yesterday's update.
