For those of you who don't obsessively track cvs commits...

all calls to suser() have been replaced with calls to priv_policy ().

Was suser() a documented interface?  Is priv_policy()?
With what maturity level?

Oh, and, regarding priv_policy(), the man page says the the interface is "Evolving" which is better than "Unstable"

yes, it is:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/policies/interface-taxonomy/

formerly Evolving was:

"An Evolving interface is subject to incompatible change at a major or minor release, but we should expect to change an Evolving interface only carefully, and probably slowly. As the interface evolves, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that all changes are source and binary compatible."

Note, Evolving has transitioned to "Committed"

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/policies/interface-taxonomy/#EXPSARC

"All Evolving interfaces approved by PSARC may be considered Committed with the adoption of this document version. All ON-delivered documentation will be modified to reflect this change. All other Evolving interfaces should be considered Uncommitted, which is the default transition path."
