It seems obvious that there is nobody volunteering to do the "stable"
release from start to end in a reasonable span of time. Besides James, I
was the only one participating in previous "stable" wise
QA. Unfortunately, today I do not have anymore the SPARC servers to
help, consequently I'm not volunteering.

It is relevant as the following is a solution:

1. drop Solaris 8 and 9
2. use the SUN provided X11 with Solaris 10

and you have 3d acceleration on those hardware platforms where the
feature is available.
