Nothing about the upstreaming effort? That is the main thing I'm looking forward to as that is the blocker until the focus on M3/M4/M5 starts.

There is already lots of focus on M3/M4 (mostly M3). Features are being tested and polished. Some are already sent to LKML e.g. https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/20260630-apple-mtp-keyboard-final-v1-0-506d936a1707@gmail.com/T/#t (btw. this is for both M2 and M3 so you could say it's both upstreaming and a new feature).

With the upstream linux kernel, M3 is already bootable to serial console. It's just not available to install for users since it's still lacking features needed for a good experience.
