I think that maybe x86 *is* the main area where we need help
from device driver writers who have done the compatibility
heavy lifting for Linux already.
Is there a licensing problem in getting their work onto Open
Solaris for x64/x86?
Would the GPLv3 even solve the problem?
Outside of this camp, I think we are looking at a green field
of folks who are not necessarily coming from Linux to Solaris,
but maybe getting involved with kernel development for the first
time by getting their feet wet with Solaris.

I'll admit there are some areas that need improvement, but
Solaris certainly works on x86, and more Solaris users are
now on x86 than SPARC, so it's getting a lot of attention
to fix the deficiencies.
