We do? For X, our release value is the version of the Solaris WOS
we bundle into, and we don't provide a way to get any other version
of the consolidation as a whole. (Except for the disaster that is
patch README's, in which we've always been forbidden from labeling a
Solaris 10 patch as "Solaris 10" and thus have complete garbage names
in, such as the "X11 6.8.0" patch which delivers Xorg server 1.2 from
X11R7.2 to Solaris 10.)
