Quoting "Jeffrey Hutzelman" <[email protected]>:
You must think that people who run production services have nothing
to do all day but buy new hardware and put new operating systems on
it and migrate their services.
Oh I =know= this isn't the case. I get those headaches all the time.
Also, please bear in mind that "Solaris 8/9" is not one version, and
support timelines for 8 and 9 are not the same.
from http://www.sun.com/service/eosl/eosl_solaris.html
Last ship Phase 1 End Date Phase 2 End Date
Solaris 9 10/30/09 10/30/11 10/30/14
Trusted Solaris8 10/3/08 10/23/10 10/23/13
Solaris 8 02/16/07 3/31/09 03/31/12
I figure it will take at least year to get 1.6 out the door especially
if the major feature is DAFS support. By that time Solaris 9 will have
one foot in the grave when it ships.
However, it might be trivial to keep support for Solaris 9 since that
is when the threading model changed which I think was the original
persons point.
