Re: [TCLCORE] TIP 715 - Supported platforms and build environments for Tcl/Tk 9.1

[Steve L. <st...@di...>]

Further to what Pietro has said,  I cannot see why a *nix variant (or even a Linux distro) should require two maintainers when that is the same number are required for Windows and macOS,  both of which are quite different from a *nix/X11 platform.

Surely it is enough for the test suite for a release to pass for a platform to be considered tested, irrespective of the number of developers?
