Nevertheless we have (official) testers for those two targets. They take 
care for them and even add new features (remember Tomas adding support 
for TProcess to OS/2 some months ago?). That's currently more love than 
Win9x gets...

Also FreeDOS (on which FPC can run) is an actively developed/distributed 
platform like is ECOMStation. This is again unlike Win9x.

So in my opinion DOS and OS/2 should not be put into the same bin as Win9x.
