To be honest, I consider them dropping the BeOS a good thing. From my porting experience so far, part of the task of porting something to Haiku is working around the BeOS port. When we drop the __BEOS__ macro this will be less of a problem, of course. Anyway, unless you have personal interest in the BeOS port, please don't ask them to keep it. CU, Ingo
