We are planning to go to the Solaris PAC. I don't know if the date is scheduled yet or not. > > (I'm surprised that it'd be a formal "business decision," or really > worth discussing.

There is testing and potentially support. Also, we are adding Sparc support for the first time in this release. Sparc is more complicated than x86 since the stock GCC backend for Sparc is not especially competitive in performance compared to the Sparc Studio backend. This doesn't have to be a formal business decision, but we do need to decide between features, resources, and schedules. Thanks, George
