1. Some of us will start using and contributing to Cayenne
2. Some of us will continue to debate technologies and talk about 
re-implementing WO but won't actually do anything (see past five years)
3. Some of us will apply AOP for the interesting problems it can solve (think 
of things that inheritance is not the solution for, horizontal functionality)

None, because we won't.

Yes, it is possible.  It was written once, it can be written again.  I don't 
know if it is practical though.  I doubt that any or even all of us have the 
resources to fund that.  Apple has a LOT of man years in WO.
