For people looking to invest in a lowish cost system right now, a BR-based AM4 build actually makes sense, because it'll be upgradeable to Zen - either CPU or APU - any time in the next couple of years.
ASRock actually list AM4 CPU support for 7 different BR APUs and a BR-based Athlon X4. I suspectmobo manufacturers are spitting that the APUs aren't out there in the channel yet. Might well be contributing to the lack of A320 (and A/X300) boards being made available...
