Great news!!! Hope I can remember the hat names - giving credit to co-developers is a noble gesture.
Please think also about a case for the rpi including these hats.
ref the McArthur hat consider something similar to the StromPi2 with the option to hook up Capacitors or LiPo cells for the UPS functionality. Bridging a few hours should be enough and then a warm standby (reduce to minimal functions and switch off the rest). Maybe you could also manage to embed a USBdrive to reduce the dependency on the SD card. By that lots of the shutdown issues are already minimized.
