maybe you didn't read the thread properly - see the message I was

If you roll back to first message I posted to this thread you'll notice
I was afraid of possible split of remaining small user base if software
authors would offer binaries optimized for CF claiming that they would
run on m68k as well, though slower. Such process sends a clear message
to the m68k users - upgrade to CF/ACP or be even slower than you were..
It's hard to explain as it's kinda social thing. Let's see what the
future will bring.
