I understand the virtues of maintaining support for older systems, but
the prospect of maintaining support for non-networked Windows 95, when
there's no one to use or test or develop that support, does not fill me
with enthusiasm.
We have one developer---you---who can still make sure Emacs works on
DOS. (And also DOS can be emulated these days.) I'm not aware of
anyone who is still using and/or reporting bugs (let alone developing)
on a non-networked Windows 95 system. Are you?
