I’m patiently waiting for a Pi Zero format for new Pi 4B (or something close...).

Regarding the size of B series, unless I need the ports, I almost always snip out the ports — don’t bother desoldering it, the ground plane in Pi acts as a massive heat sink. Instead, I snip slowly and carefully the metal housing of ports, and then wiggle the plastic bits until the break away. Reduces the size, and leaves sufficient space to put small modules in place.
