Wow, still hamstrung by backwards compatibility for a number of partitions for an OS that hasn't been current for over a decade. Any chance of removing that limitation in a real Solaris release (like, Update 1 for example). Where I work, we are sometimes slow to adopt new features. So, for example, people are still leery about soft partitions. The ability to have 15 real filesystems would make them very happy.
