PPC on the Amiga was a cobbled together mess in an attempt to keep up and nothing more, even when it was brand new in the 90's.
It was the only option back in the day that we had, and we were sunk long before it came out. Just because it's what we are used to doesn't make it something to admire, and I say that as a person who's main Amiga is strictly PPC with no 68k onboard.
PPC is going nowhere.
Agreed.
AmigaOS has painted itself into a corner, obviously going PPC back in the 90's was a mistake, if they'd just hung on to 68k for a few more years not only would have OS 3.9 been a better OS but it would have become clear that PPC was not the solution.
Anyway the problem now of course is that so much software exists for PPC it will be hard to switch to any other CPU. Just think what a mess a new OS would be if it had to intergrate emulation of both PPC and 68k...yuk.
I guess the only real option would be only support PPC emulation on an OS level and let some 3rd party application like WinUAE take care of the older 68k stuff which would be workable but still a bit of a mess
