MichaelC in his last summary mentioned that no one had committed 
anything to the branch?

(HP/UX is bottom of my list in terms of worries - you've effectively got 
it under control!)

As for obsolete architectures, the remaining ones are:

m32r - no one came forward last time
mn10200 - dead
z8k - people keep poping up that use this!

The bigger problem is finishing off architectures such as MIPS.
