OSF/1 last shipped circa 1995, right? If so, clearly vanilla OSF/1
long ago lost its "reasonable portability target" status.
However, OSF/1's successor Tru64 UNIX is still very much alive.
HP is still releasing new versions and says they'll support it at least
through 2012. See
<http://h30097.www3.hp.com/pdf/Tru64_Roadmap_Current.pdf>.
I see that the recent patch talks about "OSF/1". It might be helpful
for comments like that to mention Tru64 as well, as many folks don't
know the technical history behind Tru64 and won't know that OSF/1
comments often apply to Tru64.
