Note that the distribution package into which WebStack is going may
answer your question
-- for example
for SXDE, there is probably no need to even include 64-bit versions of
software when a 32-bit version is included, because it is not needed and
having two versions of the same product will cause confusion (as a
related issue, there is already much confusion since webstack supplies
Apache2, yet Solaris already bundles Apache{1} and running both with
default ports would cause a conflict and error).
This is because SXDE is intended for desktop, primarily single-user
evaluation, by programmers and web developers, using a desktop-class
workstation, where what's important is: simplicity, ease of use,
negligible learning curve by non-solaris people, and quick user success
in evaluation and pilot projects. SXDE is not intended for use in data
centers, for production deployment, or by enterprise sysadmins, where
scalability and performance are important.
