This reminds of the thread about FPU support from a while back.

Someone (myself and a few others) were suggesting that there should
be two binaries in every archive:  

1) 68000     plain-jane binary.

2) 68020-40  with 68881 FPU enabled by default.

Many Falcon users complained that a Falcon is not factory-equiped 
with an FPU and that bying one wasn't among their priorities.
