It would also mean double work for the new features, double bug 
tests, double documentation (both internally at elektron and 
externally). Some would want just something from OS1 and some would 
want something from OS2. It really would mean double or more work for 
elektron. I can say for sure that double OS thing was 'dead idea' at 
the begining. Image microsoft (or apple) making different versions of 
the same program just becouse someone like their windows colored less 
blue.. huh.. It's not going to happen (and better for all of us). 
This is my opinion of matter. ;)
