I knew I would get in trouble. :P

I realize that many still use BeOS or Zeta to develop (for) Haiku, and I 
understand the inevitability of having to have certain legacy content 
that that entails; that's not a problem in itself.
That being said, if it's going to be under a Haiku subdomain, I would 
like to make sure that the focus is on advancing Haiku, as opposed to 
supporting legacy operating systems that are dead ends (BeOS/ZETA).
So, I am not saying it has to be Haiku-only, but let's be cognizant of 
where we want the focus to be: the future rather than the past. ;)
Cheers,

Koki
