We can barely live with it. Solaris is a very delicate platform when
you try to rely on standards in your products. Many details which are
standard on other operating systems are optional (especially POSIX and
multibyte locale support) which makes it difficult to maintain a
Solaris port.
What other platforms are you speaking of? Linux isn't POSIX compliant,
and most of the BSDs aren't. So which ones?
