I just deleted the > reference in the README file. Actually, *before* 2.3, we will need to add warnings. So anybody using one of the unsupported systems will get a build failure, and thus can step forward to maintain that port. In 2.3, it will be easy to restore the support: Just remove the build failure. In 2.4, the maintainer would have to produce some larger patch, restoring the removed code, and likely fixing it. I don't really expect anybody to step forward, atleast in one case, the user decided that a system upgrade (from SunOS 4 to Solaris) would be easier. But we do need to give users a chance, since experience tells that users want support for strange systems. In the specific case of Minix build instructions, it is probably ok that it is removed already, but I'd like to ask everybody to stick to the plan of PEP 11. Regards, Martin
