If you want to mark DJGPP as an obsolete platform, you can propose it, and
if 3/4 of the SC agrees, then and only then does it happen.
Alternatively, if no SC member objects, we effectively have unanimous
consent.  But no list that you maintain is in any way binding on its own,
even though the SC in the past has blessed a list that you provided.

I doubt that a proposal to deprecate DJGPP would succeed.
