 Is an experimental RunTime branch that allows one to develop programs that make use of the Amiga API but runs native on a Linux host OS.
-It is experimental in the sense that host implementation is still being developed, additional features/implementations are added, and things might change and as such can not be considered 100% stable on those parts.
+It is experimental in the sense that host implementation is still being developed, additional features/implementations are added, and things might change and as such can not be considered 100% stable on those parts. From a 3th party developer point of view it is assumed to be stable.
 As AROS executable's runs native on the host it allows for easy development on the host OS and be able to (cross)compile for a native AROS target (for example when hosted development was finished).
