I have no position on whether those operating systems are dead enough to warrant removing support, but on a related point, I would like it if we could get rid of as many spinlock implementations as are applicable only to platforms that are effectively defunct. I'm suspicious of s_lock.h's support for National Semiconductor 32K, Renesas' M32R, Renesas' SuperH, UNIVEL, SINIX / Reliant UNIX, Nextstep, and Sun3, all of which are either on your list above, or stuff I've never heard of. I have no problem keeping whatever people are still using, but it would be nice to eliminate anything that's actually dead for the reasons you state. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
