I have to admit that to me, the only justifications remaining for
continuing to use Solaris at all are:

1.  ZFS (and the number of other operating systems with ZFS support is
increasing);
2.  The Sun nfsd, *still* the reference NFS implementation.  It beats
any available Linux nfsd implementation hands down.  Not even close.
