  I looked at the issue 7119285  Make OSInfo recognize AIX platform
  http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7119285

   It was reported 6 days ago and it seems it needs some time that the 
issue has been propagated to the open bug system and becomes visible 
after it was submitted:
    "Some bugs don't show up in the database for some time because of 
delays in processing."


  Thanks,
  Alexandr.
