I don't think you're fair here. Petr has done some improvements to
vcons to get higher resolutions on the Videl. Konrad has added a small
(just a few lines of code) patch in MiNT to work around a bug in the
Videl. These are the only Falcon-spesific things that has been done to
MiNT/MiNTOS lately, almost all effort goes into general improvements
in MiNT that benefits all users (new TOSFS, better memory-handling,
security...).
