This is a big LAUGH.  You guys are really just trying to make the net 
giggle, right?  Should this be in rec.humor?

Gee, I wonder how they did most of the original development on an 
Amiga 1000?  C-A has posted on the net that 1.4 WILL WORK on 
the Amiga 1000.

Hardware is hardware.  To make the GVP not work under 1.4 would 
require C-A to remove all interupt support from the OS.  This is not 
possible.  Maybe you'll need a software upgrade; but hardware is 
hardware.

I guess C-A said "It's in there" so many times, that people started 
to think they were saying "It's so big we're gonna force 512K ROMs on 
everyone."

Personally, when 1.4 is released I'm going to catalog all the 
commercial software that I use.  I'll cross off each package as I (1) 
receive word that it works under 1.4  or (2) receive an upgrade.  (I 
expect a lot more of #1).  When the list all crossed off, I'm going 
to spend a weekend upgrading the OS, then each package.  Ta da!
(Yeah, like it'll ever be that simple :-)
