This is a bit off topic, but what about a change in the 68000 kernels?
I meant, they're now considered generic, i.e. theoretically, you can run
68000 kernel on any machine. I think it was something considerable in the
past, but now it is a pure utopia. The result it, that a 68000 machine,
slower by nature, has yet to execute more kernel code, because there are
for example checks for long stackframes. So what about chaning the
ONLY030 compiler switch so that if it is not defined, a pure 68000 kernel
would be produced which would NOT work on a 68020+, but would be really
68000 optimizaed instead?

Does anyone use MiNT on a 68000 machine, anyway?
