The end of pono?

I've just heard that Neil Young has given an interview where he says that they have made a number of mistakes, gone through a number of CEO's, with him now acting as CEO, and that he woul like to get out of the hardware side of things. Aparrently just becoming a licencing authority, e.g.
"Pono Approved" product.

Also, I read that Pono will be releasing hi rez Beatles files. Really? And I thought that the most recent vinyl was cut from down sampled copies and that nobody at on the production side felt it mattered to have hi Rez copies.

Anybody know what is really going on?

Neil Young was a talented song writer, but in the last decade most of his output IMHO has been garbage.

Now he backs an idea about HiRez "Pony"and then releases an album recorded in a phone booth!
The Pony looks and feels like a cheap toy and will never succeed with the high end with this present version.

Younger fans in which he hopes to appeal to will go back to there ear buds listening to either rap or some other low level music.
