A system is perfect if you can't remove anything from it :-)
Not always but in this case I would go for removing everything that
simplifies debugging, our life, whatever, as long as nobody is using
it.
After 3 Days now I would say we can safely remove everything expect x86
(32 and 64 bit variants) and PPC.
Thanks for taking care Hans,
Rapha
