[Privoxy-devel] OS/2 release

[Ian Silvester]

Unless David comments to the contrary, I agree on the removal of OS/2
support. It would appear that the announcement I linked is very much for
commercial OS/2 uses and my hunch is that such installations would not
be interested in Privoxy.

As for AmigaOS my hunch goes the other way - there might well be
hobbyists out there who might be interested - but since we've not built
a binary release since 3.0.6 I guess I agree with the removal of
support.

I'll mail the user list for each platform separately; if we get no
response then I say that's enough to terminate support.
