The one possible down-side is, if I recall correctly, someone said a while back that many of the MSP432 launchpads that were being sold have older revision MSP432 silicon on them and that those older revision ICs had some significant errata. I haven't had the time to check out the current / past errata lists for the part and see what revisions have been recently shipped. Perhaps it is not a problem at this time.
Maybe that's why they are now read?, and black before?, well, have to wait for fedex to find out.
As a data point, both my black MSP432 Launchpads are fitted with revision B silicon (the old, buggy, half unsupported one).
They have been shipped January 2016.

i fell for it, again
(I hope the compiler can also be used outside the monster).
