I think Petro/the community were saying this. Before St.Louis it seemed we
must wait around with our little 68k OS 'til full-blown DE.

I got the impression from the Q&A that Amiga taking control is to quell
damaging wars and get official unified direction again? In fact Fleecy
explicitly states this.

Not as bad as above previous option IMO. 68k OS, mish-mash of underutilised
PPC options & two fingers crossed firmly behind back. I simply can't see
that the move to a clean design and full PPC OS can possibly be worse than
the ludicrous situation we had?
