Thus, even the AROS folks admit that Open Source does not allow to advance the Os in the Amiga community. Somebody will have reasons to complain about something, and then all development is blocked. It is *exactly that* which makes Open Source for AmigaOs in this "community" undesirable.
It is great to provide a tiny quote from ancient FAQ in order to support a false statement. The very text you quoted was added to AROS as initial commit on Aug, 30th,
2002. Since then AROS has advanced in many many places, exceeding the targeted OS 3.1 practically everywhere. AROS was the first one working on x86, AROS was the first one working on ARM. AROS was the first one on 64 bit platform, providing 64-bit kernel and 64-bit software. AROS was the first one exceeding the 2GB memory limit. Finally, AROS was the first one showing that at least some degree of SMP is possible on AmigaOS-like system. Yet, despite all the advancements that were made, it can be compiled for x86_64 or m68k from the very same source tree and the m68k version (advancing every day) remains compatible with legacy m68k software as much as possible.
