So because some users may decide to break their links, you're going to force
everyone to break them all, and not allow us the choice to continue to preserve
compatibility? That's like deciding because we changed the behaviour of fork()
in Solaris 10 that you're renaming libc to libc.so.2 and breaking every
application, since some tiny percentage might be broken by the fork1/forkall
change - that's just not the sort of thing we do in OpenSolaris, not in the
code, nor on the website.
