I've not had much to do with the Amiga scene in over a decade, but since when were PowerPC-based Amigas termed “classic”!?

I read the headline and thought AmigaOS 4 had been released for 68k-based Amigas ;)

Yeah, why dropping 68k support ? :-(
At least Haiku will someday run on 68k :p

I fully agree. My first reaction was Wow, after clicking on the Compatibility list, it was. Bull!

Ether Acube systems has no clue what a Classic Amiga is, or it's simply misinforming people. Pretty Lame :-p

Though it seems AROS isn't either maintaining their 68k version :-(

nevali : Why are you desappointed about the drop of 68k-only support, you say you don't use Amiga since 10 years !
More, it was never promised to keep 68k in the supported architecture, so this is not a surprise. And support of 68k would be a nonsense.

This release is NOT for PowerPC based Amiga's it's for 68k based Amiga's with PPC accelerators. A1200 upwards by all accounts
