I can only hope no weapon would ever run AmigaOS in current state.

Current OS4 end user licence agreement prohibits some uses of OS4 (eg. in nuclear plants).

People seems to be scared by "hobby OS" term. It's like denial: "No, it's still good, it's still good -- we can be mainstream. Ha ha. Windows sucks.". Sure it is. It's still fun. There's nothing bad in having computer related hobby. Sure, I'd love to see it more accessible (upfront payment of 1K Euro is no-go) but it's still here to entertain us.

absolutely.

and it's a very enjoyable hobby, as is, i would imagine, the other amiga-like platforms. folks shouldn't be embarassed about this at all. it's a lovely little piece of kit and quite a lot of fun. it's not suited for production work on a large-scale, and i don't imagine the developers would disagree. it might be one day, but that's not really the point. you can do tons of personal work on AOS/MOS, but deploying it in a commercial environment, or hoping for mass consumer appeal is a little unrealistic for the moment.

and that's not necessarily something to shy away from or try and hide. this is supposed to be fun; no one said anything about appealing to 'the masses.'

not that it would make any difference if the control program keeping the missile from being launched crashes..

Actually, if it was in a weapon, you surely want AmigaOS on it.. or can you cope with the fact that from the moment you press the trigger, the shot takes time and time to get to it's way!! :o)
And I would not surf the web or use any game or old 68k graphics software prone to crashing the system while in a combat situation!!!
