Why should Hyperion or A-Eon deliver Timberwolf or OWB promised by others then?

You mean the money went to Hyperion, not to the Friedens?

>> Not using OS4 until Linux is fixed [...] sounds irrational.

Yes, I understand this. What I don't understand is not using OS4 as long as Linux remains unfixed (or MorphOS remains unported), which means starting to use OS4 again as soon as Linux has been fixed (or MorphOS has been ported).

> Pegasos support is still included in many distros oficially.

No, it's not. You will have a hard time finding any Linux distro that in its recent release supports the Pegasos out-of-box.

> port to x5000 was MOS team decision funded by AEON

A-Eon didn't fund the MorphOS port to the X5000. A-Eon provided hardware for development, but that isn't funding. Trevor said he offered to provide X1000 hardware to the MorphOS team for porting, but it seems they declined.

> so it seems its down to funding.

This apparently depends on the specific hardware platform. The X5000 port was done without funding, but I can imagine an X1000 port to occur provided it is adequately funded (similar to how the ports to Efika 5200B or PowerMac G5 came to be).

That's not my impression.

Luckily, the inventors of the name have applied their own meaning ;-)
