Actually you should post this to python-dev. Let's be aggressive. All of those look like we should've stopped supporting them years ago... :-)

I am starting to compile the list of modules to suggest for removal and I noticed that there are still a large number for platform-specific directories in Lib/. I was wondering if we should consider some platforms for removal.

The reason I am not sending this to python-dev is I figure we could possibly be a little bit more aggressive with the removal of support here. Anyway, I would think we could remove the following platforms: * AtheOS * BeOS * FreeBSD 2 (maybe more?) * IRIX * NeXT * OS/2 * SunOS 5 * UnixWare If any of these are not considered contraversial at all we can also deprecate for removal in Python 2.x. -Brett
