Dirk, are you proposing that vxWorks 5.5 be considered supported in 7.0.2? So far, "official support" for a vxWorks version has been code for "Andrew support". Similarly for Makefile. Are you/PSI willing to take up the burden of supporting the remaining 5.5 user community?

For my part, I'd like to encourage EPICS users to move away from this 16 year old, end of life, release. The idea of SKIP_BUILDS does not appeal to me either.

Maybe it would be better to maintain this as a branch to emphasize the AS IS nature of support?

This said, I don't have much stake in vxWorks support one way or the other. So mine is not the deciding vote.
