The mission of the CSW packaging effort can be started as providing
"supported packages of freeware", for "supported versions of solaris".

Solaris 8 is the oldest version of solaris fully supported by sun.
Therefore, all our packages have to support solaris 8 at this time.

This is mentioned with somewhat different wording, at
