I'm far more interested to see support put into MacOS X for the OLDER ppc-based Apple hardware. Now, a 68k port that ran on older LC's would be a wonderful thing - as you could get some use out of those boxes. Also the Macophiles have all turned up their noses at such hardware years ago, and it doesen't carry overinflated prices these days. Most of the work is probably already done by the NetBSD folks anyway.
