Looks like a case of crossed threads, I think Kesa was trying to say that the usage of the XCore etc. was not a straight case of slapping a chip (Xena) into the motherboard but that it had been further integrated into the overall design. By this I believe he is referring, at least in part, to the Xorro slot. As to the level of integration, in my own opinion, I think it's a case of wait and see. I like the idea of having this chip and slot to play with, it could be fun. Hyperion do need to make sure that the software tools are available within the OS to make proper use of it however. It's not all about hardware after all, the software has to back it up. let's not be total naysayers. I doubt if anyone ever considered that the A1200 clock port would be as important to so many of us as it has turned out to be when it was made.
And why so aggressive anyway folks, no need for name calling among friends.
