Peter did mention this in his original email. In short, the main purpose of such a "new hardware type" would be ARMv7, which would be a vast amount of work for what would have to be a custom RISC OS build, for "hardware" which would not resemble any actual target hardware platforms in the slightest. Using QEMU to emulate something Pi-esque (and fixing the issues on QEMU preventing this from working) would be a _much_ better use of everyone's time. RPCemu is a RiscPC emulator, not an emulator of anything else - the clue's in the name! And if anyone wants to develop RISC OS in the 21st century, there is no reason whatsoever it should be dependent on a single emulator of a 27 year old platform.
