I agree.

There has to be a time to make the break. Look at what we had BEFORE the
announcements. PowerPC options that divided the community & woefully
underutilised architecture due to mc68k-tied OS restrictions. Massively
costly
"upgrades" just to get standard features. OS future paths all over the
place, none official, tied to non-uniform PPC options. Potential
perceptions of Amiga abandoning its very own OS and expecting us to
magically survive within the void until AmigaDE?

I for one am extremely happy with the announcements.

My concerns regard the spread of news outside of this tiny community with
regard to A1/AOS (how/what?). I am really excited to see how well Zaurus is
received in articles, pushing A-DE by implication, how so with A1/AOS?
Furthermore, Fleecy was cited a while back saying there were *1.5M* orders
for ADE for STBs, (how) has Zaurus et al changed this?
