I deliberately did not chose the word "obsolete platform", since this
PEP does not judge the obsoleteness of the platform: we do not
recommend to use other platforms instead, and so forth. Instead, all
this PEP says that we won't support Python anymore on those platforms,
as we believe that nobody is interested in Python on those systems
(for whatever reasons - mostly because the platform itself is dead).
