Just a thought (or some more):

Is it a plus to demonstrate all the many platforms supported by Lazarus, 
in 1.0, including Win9x?

How does it look when (at the same time) support for Win9x is announced 
to be dropped from future versions?

We could wait for user feedback on Win9x support, after 1.0 has been 
recognized and rated by the world outside this forum.

I'm using a Win98 VM for mail, because it is so damn small and easy to 
backup. Other people may continue to use such VMs, for the same reasons, 
and may be happy with a current Lazarus version supporting it.

Except for the license issue such a small VM were nice for a live CD, 
with pre-installed Lazarus, for testing by everybody. Does somebody have 
a similar Linux VM, that would allow for such a live CD?
