    Hyperionmp says:

    "The way in which it will be implemented however is already clearly defined and was subject to peer review by other developers. Obstacles to an efficient implementation were removed (e.g. the use of Forbid) and replaced in many OS components over the years (e.g. DOS).The foundation for SMP support was put in place, a clear picture exists what needs to be done to accomplish it and how. I'm willing to take a bet that it won't take 2 years ;)"

    And this is coming from same people, who claimed AmigaOS4 would be done in a few months, and would include some features it still doesn't have (many pointed out to be impossible back then (auto-expanding stack, anyone?), but dismissed by Hyperion as FUD)

    So at least I have some reservations whenever it comes to deadlines from Hyperion :-)

    Also, in no point does he state, it will NOT be postponed to OS5.

    After all, it's only a matter of what do you want to call that particular release (personally, I can't see the big difference between, say, OS4.5 and OS5, they are both likely paid updates anyway)
