MOS team builds only MorphOS and yet is late with MorphOS 3, while Hyperion does support and bugfixing of current AmigaOS 4.1, development of new features of OS 4.2 and Timberwolf simultaneously. Would love to see them throwing
If you go that way, MorphOS team also bugfixed 2.x and developped 3.x at the same time. Many of the developers of MorphOS team (including myself) have "pet" projects/applications beyond the core of MorphOS (that sometimes get integrated to MorphOS, course). And actually, Odyssey is part of MorphOS distribution.
Surely there will be some solution for SMP in both MorphOS and AmigaOS 4.x. It might make 68k compatibility go away, but since such hardware as SAM 460, MacMini or X1000 should run 68k software well with JIT - that could not be a shame, but way forward. Before X1000 there was no need to consider it at all.
If 68k compatibility has to be dropped, then going x86 is a much better solution, don't you think?
As for SMP, assuming it would be possible without breaking everything and/or having bad performance, MorphOS would also have another potential target with the dual G4 boards for PowerMacs, or the dual/quad G5s.
