I believe Platforms that have no one around to support should be removed (svn history will always be there, and they can always be rebuilt).

Please respond with the Platforms you as a /developer/ are willing to support in APR-2.x.
Maybe a better approach would be the carrot, to draw in contributions from developers on our more challenging platforms. So where a platform is not well-supported, let APR try to build, but flash up big warnings about "Not supported on this platform - use at own risk - patches welcome". If someone cares enough, it could recruit new platform maintainers. -- Nick Kew
