This is a crazy level of thinking beyond MP7,1 thread levels. 
I think that even Woz would think that Apple producing motherboards to sell into the retail market is a crazy pants idea.
Btw, if in same alternate reality Apple is going to do this, an updated backplane/CPU tray combo designed to upgrade MP5,1 would be nice.

Never. I can't ever seeing them resurrect the clone programme, let alone selling/licensing motherboards.
Apple wants to be in the Appliance business. Seal off the whole product, if it breaks you have to buy a new one.

QUO is still working, but I haven't played with it running OSX for a long time. My son is using it, but in Windows.
Very true. When Steve Jobs came back as CEO one of the first things he did was to kill the clone program.
That could be awesome but honestly - guys that are saying that Apple never do that are right. I don't think is reasonable for them - give us a posibility to buld something.
All that comes to my mind when I think about this is "software problems galore".
They have very time covering current Mac lineup, let alone this, which can be combined into bunch of different hardware configurations.
