Actually, the way to do that is to settle on a "long life" reference
board - that is guaranteed to be manufactured/supplied for a long
time. For example something from this site:

http://www.chassis-plans.com/industrial-motherboards.html

Otherwise within 3-6 months, the "reference platform" could become
totally unavailable.

There should be plenty of sources of such "long life" boards out there.
