> Right now we feel the right thing to do is to prioritise commercial and industrial customers – the people who need Raspberry Pis to run their businesses – we’re acutely aware that people’s livelihoods are at stake.

Also bear in mind that most* educational needs can be met by the Pi 400, which generally hasn't suffered a shortage to the same degree. So they can often be satisfied by the 400 whereas the industrial/commercial uses are typically more constrained (esp. if it's a design based on the compute module)

I was under the impression that the decision to prioritize industrial & commercial customers was a temporary one during the current shortages. At least, I certainly hope that is the case.
