The problem is that openpci is not 100% compatible with Mediators. It is an open source replacement (and that is really good), but it may generate some conflicts.
But most importantly, let me tell you that BB3 is an Operating System update, not a driver update, that is why it requires from the user to ensure the installation of their particular hardware drivers, in a proper manner. Of course there are few concesions made, but they are allowed only in the case they dont generate any incompatibility with other systems (which is not the case of openpci).
Thank you for your ideas and support. Let me try to explain you that the idea behind BB3 is to follow the concepts drawn by AmigaOs 3.9 and attempt to remain as faithfull as possible to the original AmigaOS 3.9 design goal/concept. This means we are rather conservative when it comes to adding system patches, that may eventually create a conflict.
Of course, if you like certain particular set of apps and patches, you are welcomed to create your own AmigaOS distribution/enviroment much like Amikit, AmigaSYS, ClassicWB and AIAB do. But it is not our goal. The objective we target, as said before is to update, enhance and bugfix AmigaOS 3.9 as much as possible, but leaving the user the freedom to choose between any of these emulation/distribution enviroments. We are more focused on the core of the OS, not on the enviroment aspects of it.
I hope you find sense out of my poor and damaged brain
Thanks again, and your suggestions are allways welcomed, as much as you are welcomed to disagree with me and find a safe way to create those patches as rom updates yourself and prove me that I am wrong.
After all I am just one of many involved in this project, and I am not allways right!
