hah!

ok, i give.

A more relevant question is: how long should we consider Solaris a
relevant platform?  It pains me to say it, but there's no getting around
the fact that unless some miracle happens I don't really see what the
long-term future is there.  AFAIK it's the only holdout that ships a
non-POSIX /bin/sh.

i remember the day i dropped SunOS support from BIND. glorious days are ahead. let's warn folks, drop solaris, and move on.
