Okay, make it "Any Solaris 10 customer (paying or not) who actually wants
to use the system" - given the lack of some basic commands in the default
path, such as /usr/sbin/ping or /usr/ccs/bin/make, the Solaris 10 default
PATH shows we've long required customers to change the default PATH to
actually make the system usable to either sysadmins or developers.
