I'm guessing that the Apollo accelerator boards might renew interest in 68k coding. New projects that take advantage of the increased RAM, faster CPU speed, etc.
I think it couldn't hurt at all. For me it's both the increased performance and the network port. Since I've got back into Amiga stuff I honestly haven't used them much for lack of a way to seamlessly hook them into my network. I don't have the patience to deal with floppies at all and most other solutions I have seen for network or CF cards and such weren't alluring enough in themselves to want to go out and get them.
I've had ideas for projects I want to write to help support the Amiga but reluctant to go there due to the above. With a network in place I can easily cross compile, and with the increased performance software features that wouldn't have been possible before will now be possible (more intensive media playback, etc.). That said I'd still want to support 68000 Amigas, just faster ones can actually use features slower Amigas can't.
Anyway, I do hope it comes to fruition and I'll see about getting some code written.
