As to the long delayed X5000, its not quite the "boat anchor" that red suggest, upon release it will be the most powerful AmigaOne made to date.
BUT, if I was designing this stuff, I'd already be examining Power8 (because Freescale's PPC are at the end of their life).
It's not a boat anchor based on the merits of the hardware, it is a boat anchor based on the fact it's released is tied to OS4.1 being ported.
Good point, this is dragging the whole project down.
The only real hope the OS4.1 community has is if Hyperion gives up and transfers the rights to AmigaOS to another entity.
Aeon has already proven they can get people outside of Hyperion to write useful additions to the OS that function better.
Hyperion's pace has always been ludicrously slow.
