Is SMP being added to ABIv0 or ABIv1? Do AROS programmers and the AROS group/team have the organization to give "official" news statements on behalf of AROS?

My understanding was that x86 AROS remained on ABIv0 for compatibility with already compiled programs like on Aminet. Eventually it was to be merged with the more advanced and AmigaOS compatible ABIv1 (which I believe the 68k is using). I guess the plan was to eventually break x86 binary compatibility anyway?
I would have preferred the lead AROS programmer(s) to give the ok on the SMP announcement when/if they decided stability was adequate (less stress for them) and perhaps give an updated plan for future ABIs but I guess anyone can create an "unofficial" news announcement. I can understand some people's excitement even if it may be better to wait for an "official" announcement.
