That would be the "new" and "untested" Solaris 10 that's been shipping since January 2005, right?
Yes. The product is only three years old which marks it to my overly-conservative apps people as an immature product not to be touched. 95% of our systems are Solaris 8 and will likely remain so for a few more years.
I can (kinda) understand their hesitation: the systems they have work well as is and heads would roll for any introduction of risk, no matter how trivial. Still, my professional skills are dwindling since I'm not allowed to touch anything not already a generation out of date.
