Here are quite a few exmaples: go to http://search.gmane.org/ search
for 8.3 and use "gmane.emacs.devel" for "In group". It produces a good
amount of hits.
Another situation where the DOS port had to be taken into account:
recently I wanted to clean up the code and get rid of the MULTI_KBOARD
#ifdefs. You asked me not to because the MSDOS port might need it. I
am 100% convinced that it won't be needed, but preferred to drop the
issue rather that try to convince you of this.
Also, there are a LOT of DOS #ifdefs in the code that we could get rid
of, that should simplify future maintenance.
So yes, the fact that the DOS code is present has an impact on
everyone that does work on emacs. As long as there are users for that
code this is fine, but there's no evidence that there are such users.
