Full hardware support still is not complete. Also I simply do not have the
time to redo months of work.

Any time I spend now basically means I get zero money from NLNet as the
donations from them are based on *milestone* completion, *not* on "time
spent".

4 weeks on OS rework equals ZERO PAYMENT from NLNet for that entire time.

Entire OSes need to be redone otherwise.
