The turnaround time for a particular system model is AFAIK on the order of 3-6 months. That's just not enough time to develop the driver support, QA it and release before the system is obsoleted by the next model.
Alex, I think you're misinterpreting the proposal. The idea is to pick at least one model and develop all the essential drivers for it. It has nothing to do with the life cycle of that hardware. We all use really outdated hardware and know where to buy it, so that won't change then.
