Shouldn't we at least name the ones we have specific support in our
Makefile instead of blanketting them into one "other Unices"?  We may not
necessarily want to list all of them, but at least major ones like SunOS,
HP-UX and AIX deserve to be listed, methinks.

I think the removal of "hardware platform" question is a good idea.

My stance on this has always been that wider adoption, even though it
might eventually come as a consequence of being the best in the field, is
never a goal.

The above is a valid and interesting question, but "Which features do you
find unique and useful ones, compared to other systems?" would be another
interesting question to ask to people with experience with other systems.

"rerere"?

Which mailing list?  Do we want to ask about alternative lists?

I am not sure how and where, but I think j/egit should also be
mentioned and/or asked about.
