@Jose
The C-exec was supossed to be used in a future revision of AmigaOS und AT/Escom,
so using "the  sources" for that was 100% o.k (if they did).

What use would it be for MOS ?
Exec : 0.0 as the exec-library in MOS works completly different due to not
being the kernel of the OS.

GFX/Layers/Intui ? That has been done by building a replycement out of CGX, I rather
doubt that old 68k-chipset-hacking sources were of any use here  ;-)

DOS ? Well casting that trash away and replacing it with something sane was more
than needed anyways.

WB ? Amibient works different.
CLI(commands) lots of free replacements to be found on Aminet or in AROS.

Need I go on ?
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
