What, you mean ancient OS3.1?
Already at least three times the OS3.1 source has been used as a starting base for a new branch (OS3.5/3.9, OS4, OS3.1.4, and arguably Walker V42 update), now we will have to reinvent the wheel for a fourth or fifth time?
Don't forget all the reinventing of the wheel in 3.1 itself, even before 3.5. Two different datatype "standards", v41 and v43. Two different large disk standards (NSD/TD64). At least two different graphics systems (CGX/P96 - older ones existed but did not survive). Several different implementations of scsi.device and of FastFileSystem. Half a dozen competing GUI toolkits. WarpOS and PowerUp. RTGMaster and many libraries like it.
Amiga people were never good at sharing or cooperating. The autism has always been strong.
