This is really unneeded. Alpha is one nail away from the coffin being
closed and nobody is even remotely interested in doing a mips port
right now. Please remove them and add a an arm entry.

I don't think we should remove them, if no port is available anyone can't
fire the autorun image for the architecture anyway so it's just simply
ignored.

Autorun.arm is as usefull as alpha or mips , there is no windows (NT) port
for this architecture and of course reactos is far from the point where can
take advantage of it so .. for the same reason you said we shouldn't add arm
to the list.

I agree with Steven. It's completely pointless.
