Even with that, is there any point in us developing the, in some cases, only 
functioning desktop on platforms with absolutely no future in sight even if we 
have the emulators for it? No one has complained to me about removing old 
platform support, and it untangles a lot of ifdef messes. We would have a 
better time porting CDE to multics, at least they still get updates...

If any of these old unix platforms see an open source release in the future, 
feel more than free to revert my commit removing said platform.


​Thank you for your time,
