- give up on the amiga legacy that doesn't make much sense today, break compatibilty for the sake of moving on (or provide integrated emulation for hardcore nostalgics). For retroamigans there's OS4...
(Indignant) I would say for retroAmigans there's AROS 68k. There's very little retro about proprietary PPC hardware and it suffers because of it. If talking about proprietary hardware, I'd much rather have an FPGAArcade Replay board running AROS than any PPC.
(Back on topic)
If the goal is to redecorate the OS in order to leave away the parts that don't make sense, there's already AROS ABI v1 for AMD64. It needs a lot of work though. Perhaps compatibility with Deadwood's Gallium3d drivers for x86 ABI v0 on AROS would be a good goal for jointly developing some of MorphOS 4.x in conjunction with the AROS team.
