I think getting the new hardware and OS port/update is only the first step. Then the questions are a) how will the products sell? Enough to pay back their costs? and b) how fast will new PPC software come along? The idea of AmigaOne/AOS4 isn't just to run "classic" Amiga programs, but to try to advance the platform.

These, I think, will be big challenges, maybe bigger than getting the new hardware/OS out. So there should be a lot to talk about, because it won't be an end point. (Though it seems like one after all these months.) It's just the end of one chapter and start of the next.

And then, of course, there's the inevitable comparisons to the alternatives -- MorphOS, AROS, emulations on x86. So times will continue to be interesting and controversial. Hopefully, people can argue about their actual machines and software for a change, not about abstractions like company politics and "what if" predictions about future releases.
