Summary: Should There Be An MMU?

This raises an interesting question from the perspective
of a hardware developer:

Should a third  party 68020 board have the capability to
install an MMU?

Let me clarify:

We all know the worth  of having an MMU on the Amiga, and
we all know (now) that CBM is considering one for the 020
board they are working  on. But, CBM has the resources to
make use  of  such  a  beast. My question is: Does anyone
think it is worth while for a non-CBM third party to have
an mmu (knowing full well that the 3rd party does not have
the resources to provide  software support in  the kernel
for it)?
