As I understand it, prstat was originally created as a Sun version of top. Would it not be better to take this opportunity to merge the 2?
I prefer top as it has the ability to kill processes and the summary information it gives. Unfortunately there are things that top doesn't report on - like microstate accounting. My own preference, FWIW, would be to simply ship top proper alongside prstat in OpenSolaris 2008.11, then merge prstat-only functionality into top for future versions, pushing the changes upstream.
