Ok that seems weird. Throwing out Netware support is the perfect case for a dying user base not worth the #ifdefs they require. Throwing out a lot of windows support written in the NT 4.0 days, to put back cleaner code that will compile VS 2013 and GCC with less ifdefs. However, mainframes are not dying any time soon, and I'm pretty sure still EBCDIC at the core.
