I see The Register had a bit more about PoE for RPi5 from Eben ...
We asked Upton what the hold-up was: "The principal cause of delay is that for the first time it features a planar transformer on our own PCB. So a ferrite clamped around the PCB, rather than a separate wound object (like the PoE HAT) or a planar transformer from a third party (like the PoE+ HAT)."
"Lots of engineering challenges!" he added.
"The end product is incredibly Spartan-looking, with very few components, and fits inside the official case, with most of the clever stuff sitting in the space between the fan and the USB and Ethernet connectors."
