Trevor is rich and somewhat eccentric. I think he can keep his company floating until he can release the X5000. Heck, it's even possible that he will release it anyway with only MorphOS on it if the AOS 4 port takes too long. With a promise of an upcoming 4.1 I bet a lot of fanboys are going to buy the board anyway, even if they are just gonna look at it or run PPC Ubuntu on it (I doubt many of them will even touch MorphOS). Don't forget that the boards are already made. I seriously doubt Trevor would prefer throwing those away than letting them be runned on a non AOS 4 system.
MorphOS Team is not just working on the X5000 port, but also on drivers for Radeon HD cards which will also benefit SAM 460 users and a possible G5 PCI-x port. And then we have all the internals that is being worked on too. The Team isn't focusing on the X5000 alone.
