If there was a way to get the Apollo core without also getting this mocked up kickstart of theirs, I would certainly chose that option. They could easily provide a tool to let users flash their own kickstarts. This was discussed a long time ago, but since "the team" cannot make up their mind about whether their "most users" character is a long time advanced Amiga user, or someone who dug out their old A500 from the attic 30 years later, they went for the shady solution. I suppose there was some "hope" that no-one would notice/care about them using OS3.9 components, and also... speed. Loading kickstart modules from disk requires a second boot, meaning longer boot times... and Gunnar hates that.
