Yes, that would be nice. Just to remove any doubt; I'm not employed by
Canonical and I have no real reason to expect anything from Huawei. That's
hope and nothing else. :)

In either case, even if they don't succeed this time, they might want to
try again next year. I think the biggest mistake that was done, was not to
tell the community about these plans ahead of the Indiegogo compaign. That
would've allowed more people to prepare for it and set aside some cash. If
at first you don't succeed, try and try again :)
