First of all, I don't think I've ever seen anything from Sun (or SGI, or IBM 
RS6k) do 16bits.  It has always been either 8-bit or 24-bit.

Second, the way X implements 8-bit, you'd find yourself in colormap hell.  One 
program would steal all the colormap entires, and another would look really 
crappy.  Or you'd get a horrible colormap-flashing effect when moving from 
one program window to another.  At least as modern programs are concerned, 
24-bit is preferable all the time.

Of course if the 8-bit piece is only in the SunRay protocol, and not an X 
setting itself, then you'd probably be ok.
