Bailing on Solaris?

[Boris Kochergin]

I think support for the hardware is pretty good, and more is constantly 
being added. I have 7.x and 8.x running on Ultra 5s and E450s doing 
various things. No major complaints. Some third-party software, as found 
in the ports tree, lags behind i386 and amd64 for obvious reasons, but 
the popular stuff works fine. In terms of five years down the line, I'm 
not sure what the current lack of clang/LLVM in the base system for that 
architecture means for it in the long term.
