That's an unfair and polarizing comparison. You know as good as I that macOS is a major platform which is actively used and maintained by several core developers. I don't recall any core devs that maintain Solaris port. PEP-11 lists clear rules about platform support. As long as we don't have a core developer for Solaris support and stable build bots, I'm all in favor to remove the platforms.
