The Apollo Team in cooperation with Hyperion Inc. is pleased to announce Amiga OS4 for the 68k range of processors.
Users can expect full support of the Apollo Team 68080 Core and AMMX instruction set. Please stay tuned for more updates on this new era of cooperation and prosperity in the Amiga community.
We look forward that the new Vampire standalones and by combined forces we can together revive the AMIGA spirit.

Looking forward to the inclusion of AOS 4 in the Apple Store.

I'm not sure if I entirely see the humour in this (cooperation seems to be a foreign concept in the Amiga market) but I am genuinely curious:
Love it or hate it... how much of AOS 4 is really PPC-specific?

It's not nice to tease us like that, and besides Amiga OS 4 isn't so great. It would slow down our new Vampire accelerators. We want a super fast Amiga with 68080 that flies not some PowerMac G4 wannabe! Just saying. :-)
But you could instruct PPC board makers to include your FPGA with the 68080 on their new boards so that OS 4 won't have to use Petunia to run legacy software. It can run natively on Apollo Core + SAGA. Just joking about that since it's April 1st. But it's a nice idea. ;-)

Not sure about Amiga OS 4 but the 68080 Apollo Core standalone (does it have a shorter name?) Will definitely revive the Amiga spirit. The Vampire cards already have, and that's no joke!

How about Amiga 5000 series?

Amiga 5000 has been used a few times. Maybe we could call it "Amiga 10,000" since Vampire cards are lightyears ahead of anything else for Amiga? :-)

The Amiga ∞.
Edit: The infinity sign didn't render correctly. :(
