This has probably been said to death before but ill repeat it anyways no its not and its has not been planned at all (nobody in the current AROS team has any interest in it as far as i know! for us UAE inside AROS is more then enough).

The idea of having to write every single AROS app that will exist doesn't sound very appealing. What about existing system-friendly Amiga browers, paint packages, apps, etc? UAE is serious overkill for those. And 99% of the Amiga stuff I use here on MOS isn't open source and isn't ever going to be open source. Without it all I wouldn't really have much of a system.

I really, really think AROS people should rethink their position on 68k emulation. I mean, what are you going to do for a browser? AROS can't really sit without one until someone manages to port Mozilla or Firebird 3 years down the line (if ever). Voyager and IB are closed source and can't be recompiled. AWeb can, but needs ClassAct, which isn't open source, so you can't get that either!

And that's just the browers. There's a whole other bunch of stuff that Amiga ppl take for granted that would take major effort and time (and bounties?) to clone on AROS.
