The (outdated) docs are not intended to suggest exclusivity. Reviewers
would consider patches for any other OS on merits of the patch itself.

In the case of AIX, most people don't have access to such a system, so
we'd be relying on the submitter to have done all neccessary testing,
and also to periodically test that later patches to netcf don't
accidentally cause regressions.

IOW, by all means submit patches for AIX support, or any other OS

Regards,
Daniel
