   You can do advocacy of GNU and the GNU system in many places. But lists of
   platforms in *technical documentation* are not the proper place to do so.

That is incorrect, it is an excellent place to do so.  Our guidelines
also do not differentiate between technical documentation, and other
places.

   Are you saying that it *promotes* HP-UX, to state that HP-UX 11 lacks
   a certain variable?

Mentioning irrelevant, or obsolete platforms, does proomote them.
Please refer to the GNU Coding Standards, and GNU Maintainer guide.

I think it is best that this is brought up with RMS directly, since
that you're being antagonistic as per usual.
