Created an attachment (id=83710)
 --> (https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=83710&action=review)
patch v1

I have mailed the Mozilla guys on why "Macintosh;" was not also dropped (they explain why "X11;" was not dropped), but I bet the answer is going to be "web compat", as "Windows" is a string still found in the updated Windows-specific UA string (in the version identifier) but "Macintosh" would not be found in a similarly-updated Mac UA string (which uses "Mac OS" in the version identifier).
