We could move that text to the HISTORY section.  We should keep it, as
uses of that arch may want to read documentation about it, regardless of
it not being supported by new releases.

Say, you're using a 20-year old system, and want good documentation
about it.  You could find it in the latest version of the manual page.

Of course, we may omit some details that are unimportant, but we should
keep the main points about it in the HISTORY section.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
