I'm sorry we're replying this late.

I personally are not knowledgeable enough in such platforms and the
specific challenges and user experience it brings, so I have no idea.

Our resources are very limited. We have quite some work on our plate
to make our stuff maintainable, and the project sustainable.
Details can be found on the 2.0 and 3.0 milestone on our roadmap:

So, to be honest, I doubt any existing core contributor has any time
on their plate right now, to put into developing a second flavour
of Tails.

Still, if people with the right skills and available time are
interested in working on this, I encourage them to go ahead, think
this through, get an idea of what the challenges are :)

Wrt. support, the best way one can help, right now, to make such
projects more plausible in the future, is to contribute to Tails in
some way:

Cheers,
