Didn't consider that unrelated change. As long as we do that, I do agree.
Bumping this old thread for the upcoming 10 release to avoid having a new major version out which according to /about/ seems to have platform support which is long gone.
The alternative option to this patch is of course to remove IRIX and Tru64 from /about/ completely but that might be tricker bikeshed to paint.
I looked at committing this with the release, but without adding a good platform list to the matrix first, it really doesn't work. I agree with Magnus that we should probably try to avoid updating /about in this way... can you compile a platform list along with the supported versions for me to add?
