Unix support past 2.5.1?

[Scott Pepperdine]

IBM still ships and supports AIX.  Business isn't what it used to be, 
but Linux hasn't swallowed up the entire server market yet.  Many shops 
still run on mainframes and mid-range servers that are not Linux only.

I agree that the array support of 3.0 would be handy on the server.  
Also, there were some rev_db changes in 2.9 that need to be examined, 
from what I can see.

Thanks for your thoughts.
