As long as there are people who want to run Amiga emulation, someone will maintain it for whatever platform is "in" at that moment. It's open source software, so it's not dependent on any key person(s), like for example A-Eon or the MorphOS team are. It also gets faster all the time as the host platform evolves. For example on my current desktop system, it's about 160x the speed of a 25 MHz '040 according to SysInfo - so it's a 4 GHz 68040. That sounds pretty NG to me
Of course one day in the future, development will cease as nobody will be left who remembers what Amiga was, but I won't be around to worry then
