I agree, it will never happen.  The only way it might happen, is if ACube un-bundles AmigaOS4.x from the SAM boards and also pays the MorphOS2.x development team a porting fee to complete a version of MorphOS2.x for any of the SAM boards.

I guess you could say that the SAM boards are already available without AmigaOS4.x through their "Industrial Purchase" program, but I don't know what the minimum number of boards is for such purchases, so it doesn't really apply to Amiga/Morph users that only buy one board at a time.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

People buy SAM boards or systems because they want to run AmigaOS4.1 and are not interested in MorphOS2.7, or are more interested in AmigaOS4.1 than they are in MorphOS2.7.  If they were interested in running MorphOS2.7, they could buy a much cheaper system to run it on that is 2 to 5 times faster than the SAM boards.

Just makes no sense for the MorphOS Dev. Team to support the SAM boards, unless someone wants to run MorphOS2.x on a SAM so badly that they are willing to pay for the port.  I have no idea what the MorphOS Dev. Team would charge.
