Let them be gone. I would not go out of my way to remove old system
support, but when such support is in your way, please feel free.

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.

Hi all,
I wanted to run this by the community to get everyone's thoughts on
it before commits start being made;I think that discontinued unixes
should start being removed from the code to decrease bloat, this
would include UXP, OSF1 and UnixWare, UXP hasn't been updated since
1999, OSF1 was discontinued in 2012, and UnixWare has since moved
their code base to be FreeBSD based, so removing the old UnixWare
bits would not really effect their current offerings, though I could
give Xinuos a courtesy email just to make sure nothing breaks on
their side. There also may be some remnants of ultrix, irix, and
others that we could dispose of. These unixes seemingly have no
chance of being revived and the companies that developed them are
seemingly unable or unwilling to open source them, therefore, I
think that they should be removed, thoughts from everyone else? Does
anyone in this mailing list still use any of these platforms? If so,
why and what for? Could you do a migration if need be?
Thank you for your time,
-Chase
