We still use alpha-osf5* targets, but alpha-os1-tdep.c is used for all
alpha targets. I looked at the CVS logs, and I made a few changes to it
recently (end of Dec 2004). So I would like to keep that file for a
little while longer.

I don't mind putting this on my list of things to do (I actually
just did). This shouldn't be very difficult, should it. The only issue
is that AIX machines are so sloooooow, it makes everything take a long
time.

That's the only observations I have on your proposed list. I agree
with the rest of your list.
