This isn't necessarily to be considered as an objection, but I don't
think that the definition of 'modern hardware', whatever it is, should
influence the development of IPCop as much as, say, the development of
something like a Window manager.

Many IPCop machines are in service as firewalls simply because they've
been pensioned off from other duties.  That certainly applies to many
of the IPCop machines I've used in the past decade or so.
