IMO, this can be plausibly explained by the availability of updated
code for the two platforms. With Sun they release patches relatively
infrequently, kernel patches less frequently still..OTOH FreeBSD
"releases patches" many times each day, encouraging the admin to
upgrade frequently to scratch the itch of being "up to date".
