You haven't been paying attention: we now run 64-bit AMMX extended MC68080's which get faster and faster every firmware update. SPARC register windows are an awesome thing once you grok them; 256 virtual registers and pedal to the metal!

This matters for serious users who care about more than keeping up the 68k legacy. RISC-V is a big deal in computer architecture, the latest vanity extensions on the 68k not really.
