I assume this is for the likes of Bograts et al

That confirms they have nothing to do with what the Amiga is now. No plans for our future.

Obviously to get benefit of the huge amount of work done on OS4 by the whole team after years without any interest in OS4 (remember the vision of OS5 and OS6, run it everywhere, ...).
