I'm not sure what you mean: from a support perspective both SUNWxcu4 and 
SUNWcsu have the 
same level of support -- when you contact Sun Services with an issue for tools 
from either package 
the support you're entitled to is exactly the same.

Are there scripts that fail to work correctly when you set your PATH to be 
/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/bin? If 
so that's probably a bug waiting to be filed & fixed.

Claiming that incompatibly changing /usr/bin is customer-friendly seems a bit 
odd, considering that 
it'd break things for a fair number of Solaris users: it'd be customer-hostile 
to them...
