I'm inclined to agree with Bruce. While it's not reasonable to assume
that the lack of a BSD/OS user complaining on -general indicates that
there are none, it's also not reasonable for them to expect us to
support their operating system for 8 years after the original
proprietary vendor. Better to not support BSD/OS than to supply a port
that no one really has any confidence in. It's not as if we've ceased
support in release branches.
