Is the AmigaOS support completely broken, or does it greatly complicate something to keep it? I don't think it should be dropped just because of some general cleaning. But if it causes significant problems, or is unlikely to ever be fixed, dropping it makes sense.
As far as I could see, the code was not superconvoluted. Then again, I have no idea how well it worked/works. I suppose Marcus is more qualified to decide what to do.
OTOH, there is a fair amount of ifdeffed could that is programmed in parallel. Dropping that is better, because people rarely test the AmigaOS codepath.
