TIL that HP-UX reaches end of life in 3 days on 2025-12-31.
When I worked as a contractor for a U.S. government department back in 2010/2011, the team I was on had all HP-UX on PA-RISC, with a few on Itanium.
We had speculated whether or not HP was pulling development on HP-UX given that 11i v3 was released in 2007 and there didn't seem to by any movement towards 11i v4 or 12.0.
This in addition to Tru64 on Alpha that HP ended earlier.
How the mighty have fallen.
