On the other hand unless we need it for bootloaders, drivers or
something needed to run NetBSD, I'm for removal of srv3, sunos etc compat.

Yes.

So, first things first, and to come back to my email about ibcs2: what are
the reasons for keeping it? As I said previously, this is not for x86 but
for Vax. As was also said, FreeBSD removed it just a few days ago.

I'm bringing up compat_ibcs2 because I did start a thread on port-vax@ about
it last year (as quoted earlier), and back then it seemed that no one knew
what was the use case on Vax.

It was something that Matt Thomas used for a customer running some commercial
program,
but it was a long time ago (15 years?).  I've never heard of any other use, so
from my perspective IBCS2 not relevant (anymore).

Alright, so I propose that we retire it. After a quick scroll-reread of the
thread it seems to me we all agree on that. Anyone objecting etc?
