True. In the meantime (which will probably last forever ;-), I'll take the last SVR4 packages from SX:CE build 130 and use them (together with Xsun) on my Blade 1500 with XVR-600. It may require some hacking since I expect the SMF support for switching between Xorg and Xsun to go away, but certainly doable, and much better than turning my desktop into a brick.
