:-) Of course Sun was forced (coerced) into supporting the thing until

True...

I wouldn't upgrade to Solaris 10. I mean, 10 is already 5 years old

Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra
push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the
top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

Solaris 11. AFAIK Solaris 10 is the latest *supported* version. For
that matter it's probably the *only* supported version at this point!
