Wireshark and tshark are in SFW, but there is IMO much work to be done
to call it a suitable alternative/replacement.  For one, we have a large
number of Solaris networking test suites that depend on the snoop CLI
and output format (both the snoop file format and the terminal output),
and one would need to evaluate how to handle those dependencies.  I have
no doubt that similar dependencies exist for user scripts and tools.

For that reason, I'm not sure that we'll be able to exclude snoop from a
Solaris distribution anytime soon.
