I don't have any problems with removing old Unix. Probably the only one I'd
think twice about is UnixWare; I don't know how much its still used but its
still a pretty recent thing, the switch to FreeBSD. I don't know anyone or
any company using the older UnixWare and I doubt anyone would miss the lack
of support for it, just something to think about.
