That's my understanding as well.

I think the limiting factor in bringing these machines to market is the supply of components available, so if we're lucky maybe the developer will find a crate of 486DX2 chips and related chipset somewhere.  And/or an open source design they can clone. (like the Book8088 BIOS)
