     If Commodore-Amiga is saying in Amigamail that mutualexclusion may never
be implemented, or may be implemented differently, why do the include files
still (after more than four years) still say differently?

     And, does Commodore care about the hundreds (thousands?) of programmers,
professional and amateur, that are not registered developers?

     Not all programmers read AmigaMail.  It should be possible to program the
Amiga without having to be a registered developer.  If you implement
MutualExclude in a way contradictory to the way it has been documented for four
years in the includes, don't be surprised if you break a lot of programs, and
be prepared to take some of the blame.
