And yet in doing so, you'd have to sacrifice one of the much vaunted features of MorphOS, it's compatibility with 68K, WarpOS, PUP, MOS PPC et al.

Unless you go for some sort of rosetta-like PPC JIT for x86, anyway.


That's certainly doable; there's at least two PPC emulation architectures you could draw from to do it (bits of sheepshaver and pearPC), as well as various m68k emulation tools...
