Maybe I'm paranoid, but it seems more a way for motorolla to leverage a community on the cheap.
I really doubt the ARA will exist in a way that makes it
really usable. IMO it seems like the technology is moving faster in a direction where you can produce a cheap small batch of custom build hardware (or an infinite variety of models like Samsung) rather than going back in the old school lego model.
However, I can see the scout data from the community being incredibly useful for a company to create devices dedicated to various markets.
