Very nice of the Oracle folks to release a kernel patch update immediately
after the thing requires vintage support. Personally I have yet to meet a
single IT manager or site admin that cares about Solaris anymore. Heck,
you can not even get compiler patches so why bother to do dev work for
Solaris.
