While Minix, like dozens of OSs, is far from having a measurable market share - especially compared to Linux/Windows/BSD/etc - is also far from being either unwanted or disused. It's actively developed and promoted. Why would you characterize it obsolete based on its difference from "mainstream" OSs? That doesn't make sense.

I didn't. I explicitly said that the concept of 'obsolete' doesn't apply to it, because it's so different from everything else.
