The idea to port important parts of Aros to a mainstream OS like Linux is much more promising (and that is what Deadwood is already doing).
Future will be in my view:
Aros 68k (including ApolloOS)
Aros X86 (VM and real Hardware X86)
Aros on Linux base (AMD64)
my personal favorites are the 68k branch for the amiga retro market and Aros on Linux

Haiku have branched and re-written most of the original OS into 2 flavours. The 32 bit BeOS program compatible version and the new, non-binary compatible 64 bit version. It's on their website.
