ummmm, kernel != OS
you'd still have to improve and addon to what we already have...you'd
still want proper media streaming, streaming datatypes, proper
multiprinting support, built in MODERN TCP/IP stack (with firewalling,
DHCP, proxy etc), better preferences, RTG/RTA/RTIO etc

MorphOS is very much beta still. Ralph and FRank do not want it (as it
currently is) to be described as a finished product (which it certainly
isnt) - which is why you still cant buy it.

..and whats good about that?
closing down the OS to 3rd party implementations is a BAD THING(tm).
at least with the OS as it currently is, ANYONE can write an RTG system.
