Comment (by jg):

 Many/most of these are no-brainers - obviously, dropping support for
 hardware we don't have and can never have requires no further thought.

 I do want to see a proposal of the "brainers" going to the "devel" list.
 Saying "I can't imagine why" someone might want to do something (like nfs,
 which has been an essential part of many people's environments for
 decades) does not reassure me much: people are inventive, and may have
 ideas in mind that we haven't thought of.

 Andres, would you please prepare a list and send it out?
                                  - Jim
