AROS still hasn't been polished enough to br released as a 1.0 package.
Says who? I've certainly seen worse - it's for sure a heck lot better shape than Amiga OS 1.0.
If ported to a 68K its likely to be slower and buggier than what you currently use.
I do not see why you think this - CBM developers were magicians? You think gcc cannot compile efficient m68k binaries?
At least with AROS bugs can be more easily be fixed, efficiency be improved, without all the hassle needed for tweaking original AmigaOS.
Are copyright concerns that significant that it makes sense to expend so much energy just to realize what you already have?
Consider this - one of the big contributers to the
m68k kickstart bounty is Cloanto. And people are ofcourse allowed to spend energy on whatever they feel like, the people mostly involved in the m68k port are "new" in AROS context, it's not like this is pulling lots of resources from the rest of the project.
And lastly, I can't help thinking that someone will eventually get AROS running natively on Atari ST and Falcon as well, which would be quite awesome :laughing:
