The only use of these platforms was three mistaken bug reports that probably wanted PC. I don't see any reason to keep these old system types around any more. OK to remove? (Suggested in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13363 )

I don't suppose you've changed your mind on also removing the obsolete OS's (BSDI, AIX, IRIX, HP-UX, SunOS, OS/2, Mac OS X < 10.3)?

Did he say he wasn't for it? I didn't catch that. Dan, here's a vote for removing those. I can't comment on all of them, but SunOS has been obsolete for a decade, OS/2 nearly as long. --Juan

It was in a thread a few months ago: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2008-November/070494.html
He removed several, but those few I mentioned are still there.

He's referring to an old discussion we had. I'm ok with deleting any that have zero valid instances in the bug tracker and are obsolete. All the SunOS instances should really be Solaris, I think.
So IRIX, SunOS, and OS/2 can go now. We do have one (abandoned but recent) real bug against HP-UX and HP, so maybe it's not quite time to delete those (but we should rename HP as HP-PA to keep people with HP PCs from choosing it).
Why do we have versions on Mac OS X? How about we combine them all? - Dan

Yes, they should be. They're all mine, I've moved them.

If it's worth keeping an extra platform/OS for one bug, I suppose. Could simply set it to 'other'.

It can make a big difference in the bug. The X.org version in OS X (partially?) depends on what OS X version you have. Some bugs will only show up in Tiger, because Leopard has them fixed on Apple's end. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, this is based off of what I've seen on wine-users).

By that logic we neeed to have all versions of Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. listed as well.

I'd say the analogy is closer to having Linux 2.4/2.6, but I get your point.
I'm fine with combining those.

One big difference is that upgrading from Tiger to Leopard costs money, unlike upgrading Linux. So, it's not as simple to just tell a user to upgrade to fix their problem.
(I don't interact with Bugzilla much, so I'm not weighing in on what suits the needs of bug wranglers. Just raising a point.)
