OK, you are right....
But using this argument only, we would get into pressure to implement even more
RT signals just because there are programs that use higher numbers.
Solaris is already POSIX conpliant and I believe that _we_ the OpenSolaris
community also need to educate software authors how to correctly follow POSIX
constraints instead of writing code that depends on platform specific features
or parameters. This is not only a problem with the number of RT signals but a
general problem with software that has been developed on e.g. Linux. Writing
portable code first means to understand what features are platform specific and
how to do the same thing by only relying on standard features.
