Irix is long dead and we don't support it in any form or version. I closed the tracker issue. I will let Martin update PEP11. I think you misunderstand the purpose of PEP 11. It is not meant as a repository of platforms not longer supported,

However, that would be a useful purpose for people doing triage on tracker issues.

but a list of announcements of which systems will not be supported anymore in upcoming releases.

It seems that the removal of Irix support has bypassed PEP 11.

If the complete end of Irix support had been documented, I would not have had to ask and several other issues would have already been closed.

Perhaps the PEP should be withdrawn.

Please no.
