Who says the quick mockups 7bit did are the final ones?
I assume you didn't read through the thread, otherwise you would have spotted oneproduct's layout and webwit's qHack (Cherry HHKB with trackpoint, mouse wheel and mouse buttons).
It may be true 7bit is looking for other options to get rid of keycaps (round4) and switches, but to say it's not community based... last time I checked 7bit was still a community member, not an online keyboard shop.
Anyway, guilleguillaume asked for a Cherry HHKB. I don't see a chance for a HHKB layout here, so I simply redirected him to the project where it might happen. To help is all I wanted...
