One of the members of this mailing list has recently written about upgrading his Sparc computer from Solaris 11 to OpenBSD, because (highly ironically), new versions of Solaris 11 do not support his Sparc hardware.
I don't see the irony there - Solaris was always a commercial OS and dropped support for hardware that was no longer commercially viable to maintain - all the way back to when Solaris 2.0 first shipped without Sun/3 support. sun4, sun4c, sun4d, sun4m all got dropped when their time had passed - it would be far more surprising if Solaris 11 kept sun4u support forever. Very few commercial OS'es sold in 2011 and later still support computers from 1998 (such as a Ultra 5). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_%28operating_system%29#Version_history
Or, is it possible that I am mistaken? Is there an OpenBSD implementation of ZFS of which I am unaware?
