Things like:

1) dropping software:

Some examples include:
almanac          getcollate
getlangid        getlangs
gettables        nlappend
nlcollate        nlcollatesys
nlconvclock      nlconvcustdate
nlconvnum        sub_in_outstr
extract_nldt     format_nldt
get_end          getjulian
isvalidgregorian isvalidjulian
nlcrtm           calendar
clock            nlfindstr
nlfmtcalendar    nlfmtclock
nlfmtcustdate    nlfmtdate
nlfmtlongcal     format_outstr
nlfmt_cleanup


2) moving software:

   One at random from ITRC:
   … Some libc APIs were moved to libm, libnsl due to standards/de facto
   standards and will require a link line change to find the APIs in the
   new library.  (This breaks some Makefiles)

3) command changes:

   One at random from ITRC:
   "What is the HP-UX 11.0 command is equivalent to the
   HP-UX 10.x
   command cmgetconfig-f ?"

   "find" command parameters removed
