Probably "v54 only" not possible, because V54 just a new shell commands + whole enhacner, etc, but not new kernel or graphics.library or anything which is heart of OS and which for real important enough, without which things will not runs. But of course, if Mattew specially will put restrictions inside of the drivers to avoid working on OS4 as it now, then it will be v54 only :)
Firstly there should be v54 out, then users test it, and if (and only IF) it good enough and have no bugs, and all features from original OS in, then maybe ppls will consider all this. But i have big doubt that everyone will happy jump on this "v54" stuff, with all new replacements and new bugs in, and go the same route as we go with Hyperion for 10-15 years fixing all small bugs.

If I am not wrong, the Enhancer and the driver's license are "one copy per machine". So, if you have 2 AmigaOne, you need 2 copies of the software. Matthew just tries to enforce that starting with the drivers.
Many did that in the past, and the AmigaOS 4 has different versions for different hardware. I don't really see where the problem with it is.
Problem that it wasn't like this before, but will now. Also another problem, is testing , beta-testing and developing. Imagine that someone need to produce 4 different version of the same driver, but , with a little bit of code changes in each of them, mean, that ancidientaly, one of the drivers may have small bug which other ones didnt' have => harder to beta-test and develop and control.
But, whatever , it's ritorical, Hans still works on, Mattew paid, and this all works on pure OS4 , that the minimum i happy with. Once things will be V54 only, i am sure many of us will be out of this , and will be on original, even on dead one.
