All that needs to happen is for those developers to start using Solaris as the main development platform. Again. They ditched Solaris years ago because it wasn't gratis. The tools, the compilers, were expensive. Now all of that is gratis. Solaris is easier to develop on. Solaris is easier to develop for. The tools are of much higher quality and performance than Linux (concretely, GNU and GCC vs. Sun Studio). There's no reason to stay on Linux. It was an intermediary measure anyway.
