[Python-Dev] Removing support for little used platforms

[Martin v. Löwis]

No (unless some of these platforms rely on the unsupported
Posix threads drafts, which I doubt).

I'd really suggest to follow the strategy of PEP 11 here: Trying to
build
Python on one of these systems produces a build error, which can be
easily removed by uncommenting it. People can then decide to not build
Python, or offer to volunteer as maintainers for the platform.

If nobody volunteers, the code will be removed in Python 2.4.

I believe this is more effective than posting a note on the website.
