I can't speak to the "if at all" part above, but if an arbitrary rule of one decade is to be put in place, that would mean roughly Halloween 2034 (10 years and a couple days after Zane's last post in this thread). And since I have no means to do the work myself, and due to the complexity of Zane's work in the first place, I suspect no one will be taking up the task anytime soon. So I honestly don't feel there's a need to become overly upset or excessively concerned.
If someone comes along saying they are continuing the work, then that would be a different matter altogether, a discussion can and should be taken up at that point in time. But again, I suspect the work is far too involved for the vast majority of folks in our vintage Mac community to get a clone project started. So let's all relax a bit here.
With that said, I do feel it's important to consider that Paul Pratt has been missing since May 2021 (according to most reports I've read). That's only 5 years ago. Work began to keep Mini vMac alive in Sept. 2023. I never once thought that work to keep Mini vMac relevant in the absence of its creator morally or ethically questionable. But again, some people out there would. Some folks are sensitive, while others are not. Some folks abide by a strict code of rules, while others do not. It's a balancing act to make people get along, and it doesn't always work. But we press on with life anyway.
As I've said, I've tried many, many times to reach Zane, unsuccessfully. I do wish him the best.
There is nothing further that I need to add to this topic, so I will end my comments here.
