I asked Ben Hermans about this a few months ago and the result was basically what some other posters suggested: porting at least some OS4 code to 68K would be rather easy, but Hyperion doesn't have a license for this, and Amiga Inc. is obviously more interested in the PPC.
Personally, I would support an Enhancement Pack, but with one reservation: it *must* be bug-free. OS 3.9's BB2 was unsatisfying because H&P basically ran out of money for the project and just gave us what they'd accomplished up to that point. I don't want more updates that take "two steps forward and one step back". If they're going to release major, new features, they'll have to follow it up with yet another release to fix the bugs.
Honestly, I'd settle for a BB3 that back-ports the top-50 or so bugs from OS3.9 that were subsequently fixed in OS4, plus some optional extras like the new Reaction classes. Hyperion could set up a temporary BugTracker site where users could voice their gripes and make sure no major issues were forgotten. Then BB3 would be available for download with a credit card for <= $9.95 US.
Does anybody else find that appealing?
