You cover similar concerns that I have. Particularly I'm worried that
RiscOS would be stuck in the same rut it is now with little hope of any
radical development. Because of the potential timescale involved in
bringing such a product to the market clashes with current projects seems
assured. I would need to see how this would fit in with the future strategy
of the Steering Group before I could back it.

It is a good idea, but currently, I fail to see its place in the greater
scheme of things. Especially if any further RiscOS development is going to
take place away from RiscOS.
