Not surprisingly, mine as well.

The key architectural issue was that we really didn't want to burden
project teams with having to modify *both* of them, and it was fairly
clear that wireshark was such a better answer that pouring more effort
into snoop is just plain silly.

As for the S10 argument, I don't buy it.  The list of truly novel
protocols being backported _today_ from Nevada/OpenSolaris to some
(unscheduled?) feature Update release of S10 has to be extraordinarily
short.  Letting snoop wither as Obsolete -- once we have wireshark as a
packaged alternative -- seems like the best answer.

(I just looked, and I still don't see wireshark in the package archives.
