Not entirely true. Some major applications have required an upgrade to

software on Solaris 10. I could list several more that I have run into
over the years. Though the compatibility if infinitely better than
other OS's out there.
It's still "completely true"; with exceptions.
Software like SunRAY, SunCluster, Veritas, SamFS, QFS, etc, uses
private interfaces; in some cases because there is no option
(there is no defined kernel interface for filesystems to code to)
or because of certain choices of convenience because too much source
code was available to them (SunRAY).
Re: Sunray. Was FNS private? It was it's removal that needed to be
addressed. I was actually glad that it was removed :)
I just had to wait for an updated version of the software which did not
use it.
