Linux is one of many supported platforms and it causes more workload than
others.
Since February 1985 (when the first Sun arrived in Europe), I am working on
SunOS. Before, I was working on UNOS - a UNIX clone.
The main development is still on Solaris and frequent compilations are also
done on HP-UX and Mac OS X. Less frequent compilations are done on Linux and
FreeBSD, as well as on Haiku.
I would be interested to again get access to AIX and IRIX (I know IRIX is dead
but it has the best warnings in the C-compiler ;-).

The last interface change im mkisofs (disallow -H/-L/-P for future POSIX.1-2001
usage with these optiions) was implemented in December 2006. It was announced
in October 2002.
