operating system labels

I'd like to have labels applied to issues for the uncommon operating systems, such as aix, hpux, solaris, etc. This will allow me and other managers to quickly determine how much work is in the backlog for any given OS and what the cost of support might be.

Sounds sensible and useful:

• aix
• bsd
• hpux (also search for hp-ux)
• solaris
• windows (already exists)

Q: Are you thinking a single label that applies if either controller or remote is $operatingsystem? Q: Would we just look for certain strings in the Issue/PR body Q: Can we infer OS from Python paths (for Ansible Controller being run on !Linux)

Discussed with Tanner, this is low priority

probably make a bot recognize known tags with +tag / -tag pattern from contributors (collaborators) as well (not only from admins) and mark issue accordingly ?

thanks
