Nowadays you can buy modern OS/2 under the name eComStation, see
   http://www.ecomstation.com
where you can even try a DemoCD.

The OS/2 community is quite active, see web pages such as
   http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-browse.php?dir=/pub/new&sort=date

There is absolutely no reason to remove the OS/2 support.

And neither DOS support - the latest gnuplot compiled by DJGPP runs well in 
DOS. You find such machines in labs running various experimental tools.
