Why is the Framework 16 getting left behind? (self.framework)

Seriously, what on earth is going on? They're releasing a whole new laptop and have given the FL13 Ryzen AI options but there's nothing new for the FL16. I'm hoping for a 2nd gen dGPU before I would get mine (or even a Zen 5 CPU, but I am OK with a Zen 4 as of now) but it seriously feels like there's no progress on that front. The last thing they made for the FL16 was the Dual M.2 and that was in December. Will there be new parts for the FL16? When? If not, will there be another dGPU laptop offering?

My personal gut speculation is they are still exploring possibilities to integrate the Ryzen Max with FW16s without compromising Memory upgradeability. Obviously that was not possible to achieve as easy as they hoped, so the Desktop came first. But I may be totally wrong.
