To see it on the arm architecture I think would be a good long term goal for a 32 bit kernel.
Raspberry pi and other small arm boards are cheap and affordable and would breathe life into the dos platform. You don't need the freedos community approval or help as such for a project. Just do it. It doesn't have to be tied into fd directly but I believe it's the future of dos while others can play in the 16 bit world and their archaic xt's I have all ready been criticised and labeled a mobile game app developer which I'm not but I will help as I have plans to move doscore and aura gui into its own system as freedos is no longer viable as it lacks 32 bit kernels.
