I started working on the kernel simply because I was fed up with the instability and the fact that no one was working on it anymore. It began as a hobby and gradually grew into a larger project. No one is forcing anyone to install or replace it. Coincidentally, as soon as the news got out, the people working on the kernel started releasing half-baked patches. Hyperion has nothing to do with this, and I can't talk to them since they don't own the kernel and can't change it. Given the current situation between Trevor and Hyperion, a kernel capable of running on new machines might be the only solution. Furthermore—and this is something many of you fail to grasp (though it's common knowledge in the Amiga community)—*anyone* can contribute to the kernel; anyone can report bugs and propose solutions or new implementations. Naturally, I don't expect any of that to happen—especially not from the "big" OS4 developers (as we saw with clib4)—but honestly, I don't care. I’ve spent nearly 25 years of my life (and a lot of money) on OS4, only to see where it ended up. That’s why I reached a point where I had to either quit completely or do something to try and change the situation (at least for myself). I repeat: no one is forcing you to do anything. Ultimately, this is *my* project. Not Hyperion's, not Trevor's.
