Sorry, hoped it would be obvious that that was a joke.
Not totally impossible that they could have done such a thing, if
they actually wanted to,
because there are a few PDIP-packaged ARM chips, or they're rumored
to have their own chip fabbing,
there's plenty of spare horsepower, and the average hobbyist wouldn't
notice as long as the pinouts were right.
My real worry about such things is getting the 3.3v part when I'm
expecting a 5v part.
