Steve will often reply to questions and bug reports.  Sergey never has (that I
can remember).  You can get diffs for Steve's version from the stock Sun
Solaris sources so you can build it yourself.  I haven't been able to find
Sergey's diffs (even though this ports are based on Steve's diffs from a while
ago).  Steve's runs on a lot of different hardware architectures (thianks to
the hard work of a bunch of different folks); I don't know whether Sergey's
runs on more than x86's.  At one point in the past, Albrecht Kleine's TYA
benchmark showed that Steve's version was substantially faster than Sergey's --
but I imagine that using TYA the speed differences largely go away.
