I was told in no uncertain terms, by a Sun engineer I respect and trust, that 
IPS will be "the way forward", come hell or high water, and that unless I 
migrate to IPS, all of our System V packages will be in "backward 
compatibility, maintenance mode".

So now we're stuck: double engineering effort - produce two sets of every 
package. Except one, SVR4 is well understood and documented, and other very 
poorly understood and documented.
