Everyone's opinion in here is valid - we all have different priorities and requirements.
All I can add to this discussion is that the Apollo/Vampire team has their own set of priorities and roadmap. There are only so many developer-hours at hand. What do they do first? AGA? 16 bit sound? FPU? Mega chip RAM? Don't forget there is a standalone board in testing. It is waiting for a core revision that contains AGA and other chipset replacement logic.
So if delayed FPU isn't your cup of tea, hey I can see your point for sure. You just need to be patient and wait.
My understanding is that the FPU is a LOT of work to test. It is almost as complex as the CPU core. So do they hold all the other features up while the FPU is worked on, or ship product to the 80/90% or so users that can live without an FPU solution for now. There are workarounds for some (but not all) of the FPU requirements as well. But again if this isn't your cup of tea then just wait. No problem.
This is a very ambitious project and everyone just needs to be patient.
