The Dragon has been announced for ages and has yet to surface.  The Coldfire processor isn't fully compatible it seems and software has to be recompiled for it. I don't know this for fact but if it's true then it could be the reason it has never been available. And it probably won't be ever...

Edit:

If the speedloss is so big that it underperforms my current 060 then I won't kiss it goodbye!

A lot of old 68k software won't be recompiled for coldfire. Authors and/or source code are long gone.
