How will cutting ties with PPC and dropping X5000 support prevent anybody from "pilfering" version numbers from MorphOS components?
They aren't just pilfering version numbers, but also stealing code. Once on X86-64 legacy compatibility is broken, right? I'd imagine components like MUI would have to be largely re-written or replaced. At the very least there wouldn't be a perception by a causal user that a X86-64 MorphOS component named MUI X.X would be the same as a PPC OS4 component named MUI X.X.
