    Few advantages I see going for ARM on Raspberry:

    - machines released ten years ago are still produced/supported (the PI B+ from 2014 is still being produced)
    - it's really cheap (no hardware barrier), plus already widespread (61 millions of PIs have been sold since launch)
    - I guess it's the most opened ARM platform (gfx drivers are open source,...)
    - the Raspberry company is opened to more OS on its platform (there is already a version of RiscOS for the PI), and Eben is fan and has fond memories of the Amiga
    - It's fast enough already
    - I think there is room for a light/fast multimedia OS like MorphOS on these boards
    - Imagine what you could do with these GPIO pins :)

    I guess it's the platform with the easiest (like free) entry fee for MorphOS. It doesn't mean it would magically work though.
    Nothing hurts a project more than developers not taking the time to let their community know what is going on.
