This whole discussion is simply stupid.
It is obvious that after breaking binary compatibility with 68k future Morphos should be made hardware independent.
Make Morphos open source on LGPL and let everyone use Morphos on whatever hardware they want.
I don't think there'd be any point in going multiplatform and breaking 68k compatibility. None of the features that could be gained would outweigh the damage of losing the software library.
Besides which, an intel port would mean multiplatform by definition. It wouldn't make sense to throw away the existing work and alienate the entire user base.
I didn't realize how "out of touch" you were with the MorphOS community, and the several discussions that have taken place regarding the announcements several of the MorphOS Dev. Team members have made about the decision to break away from AmigaOS 68k compatibility (except perhaps through the inclusion of EUAE in some form), as well as moving on to 64bit on the amdX64 architecture. The decision has already been made, and probably some work in that direction has already been completed. This discussion is for people who want to point out the Pros and Cons of choosing to support the ARM64 architecture (or others), instead of, or in addition to the already made choice of x64.
