How do you know? Do think that products are developed by a couple of engineers sitting in the corner, "hey, this looks cool?". Even if it would, back then you could sell a home computer by good hardware. This does not work this time. Times changed, the platform is much smaller. How do you know? And how come you know "what is better"? I am not so sure about this... So why exactly do we need new instructions then if there is no demand for new software? Exactly... The problem at this point is not "we are missing instructions in the core".
Hardly ever. You probably have never worked in a company?
Actually yes, that's exactly how the first Apple computers were developed. There was no team of developers and engineers doing any requirements analyses. Same goes for the Amiga. And yes, I've worked for several major companies as well as the government so I'm quite familiar with conducting requirements analyses. Requirements analyses are great for government contracts and the bidding process...horrible for private enterprise and hobbies. And Gunnar isn't developing a product for the masses. Those days are long gone. He's developing a hobby board for Amiga hobbyists. You seem to live in a delusional world where you think there's still an Amiga mass market or one that can be resurrected.
And I can ask you the same question! How do you know what's best for us or for this project? You keep whining about the instruction set. If you don't like the new instructions, stick to the old ones or better yet, just stay away from this project completely and stop confirming your disdain for Gunnar and his work.
I'd much prefer a computer, car, motorcycle, etc.....be developed by engineers who say, wow, this looks cool, let's add this to our project than ANY product developed by bureaucrats who let their designs be driven by a requirements analysis.
