Comment (by erikb):

 We're debugging for the newest hardware to provide the best user
 experience possible.

 The new hardware provides the following advantages (which may or may not
 be possible with the GX via workarounds):
 - Video scaling with xv.
 - Performance considerations for optimal video encoding quality.
 - Performance considerations for optimal video playback.
 - The combination of B2 machines & camera & mesh have out-of-memory
 errors, suggesting that the new hardware is the best place to make
 progress for activity sharing.
 - UI design choices include the use of colors other than greyscale which
 don't display correctly on older hardware because of XV hardware bugs.
