You can't make money on a product when you're spiting the world and

Not annoying current Solaris customers is one part of that strategy;
it is all too often ignored by people suggesting random changes
to the system's defaults.
You are probably assuming that your customers only use Solaris! Being one of
your customers, stupid thing's like the backspace key not exhibiting the same
results as every other device that we own is very annoying. You might find
that your customer might celebrate rather than be annoyed if you fix
something that is just stupid.
+1 +1 +1 !!
Well said :)
Though even Linux isn't immune to this annoying crap either - They
like to map DEL to the BS key, and for some strange reason, the DEL
(editing) key to a DEC VT220 Select-like esc sequence.
FWIW.
