This should be quite cool. I think it may split the Amiga comunity once more and hopefully for the last time.

There will be PPC/AmigaOne people
68k people
MOS
I don`t think that emulation counts as a forth.

Are there  two different coldfire projects? If yes, why waste time and resources by not cooperating in building just ONE card?  :-?  :-?

Nope, Just one Coldfire project on the Amiga.
There is an Atari project but they are sort of falling on there face (hehehe) and they are now reverting to buying an already designed Coldfire motherboard in, But that was never going to be  a CPU upgrade, it was sort of like the Atari users attempt at an A1

Some people say that its a waste of time upgrading Amigas, but upgrading an Atari is just silly.

As development of OS4 was carried out mainly on 68K machines, it'd be a good idea to compile/maintain a 68K version of OS4, which may then run on the Coldfire when available. So there would be no real split in the community.

well, i think 68k are a bit outdated to justify the expenses for a AOS4 porting. better use it with AOS3.9, maybe with a new boing bag.
