Forget about AmigaOS 3.1 developers, they have left the Amiga a long time ago!
AmigaOS 3.9 developers are still around, as said many of them working as OS4 devs, others involved either as users or in their own Amiga-like projects.
For example, Thomas Richter mentioned he has some bugfixes for AmigaOS 3.9 he cant make public because he signed an NDA.
Stefan Robl has a new version of AmiDock that supports the subdockies feature that works on 3.9.
And the list goes on...

Quote from RoadShow TCP-IP stack documentation that confirms what was just said:

"You need a SANA-II compatible network interface, such as an Ethernet card or
device driver like "ppp-serial.device", AmigaOS 3.1 and your Amiga must be
equipped with an 68020 CPU (this is the minimum requirement, of course). The
more memory is available, the better. I reckon 4 MBytes would be sufficient,
but I have no information to back that claim."

RoadShow was coded by Olaf Barthel.

I agree upto some point: WinUAE its variants, and the Amiga Forever package have brought many users to the 68k Classic Amigas.
Anyway, new hardware, would be a godsend!
