Benefits would be:

1.  Working "out of box" Amiga clones, wihout needing permission from anyone
a) minimig
b) natami
c)...
* Minimig could be mainstream product with this


2. No need to build custom kickstart yourself
a) CD-rom boot, maybe rtg support build in
b) Possibility to manufacture and sell replacements kickstarts

3. Future developement
a) Projects like natami would get big benefit of this and theory maybe even coldfire     accelerators.
b) ...

4.


Then this idea isnt for real amigas, then another way to add to, mos, os4 and aros

I'm not sure why this isn't exciting to Real Amiga owners.

New Kickstart
Potential for CD-Rom boot
Potential replacements for all outdated OS parts
Standards for drivers
Standards for RTG
Standards for PCI access

Most importantly, developers can finally develop RTG and other drivers, bypassing the assholes in control of Picasso, Cybervision and proprietary PCI buses.  (If anyone has hurt the 68k cause, it's those guys)

And nobody can sue this project out of business, it's open source so it can live forever.

Once it is ABI compatible, this will be the biggest thing for Amiga since OS3.1!


Then you are talking of some Amigas, a new os oriented for rtg people isnt the real world talking of classic amigas.
