He's referring to an old discussion we had.  I'm ok with deleting
any that have zero valid instances in the bug tracker and are obsolete.
All the SunOS instances should really be Solaris, I think.

So IRIX, SunOS, and OS/2 can go now.   We do have one (abandoned
but recent) real bug against HP-UX and HP, so maybe it's not quite
time to delete those (but we should rename HP as HP-PA to keep
people with HP PCs from choosing it).

Why do we have versions on Mac OS X?   How about we combine them all?
