I don't know where we are on IRC :) I suppose in case we should be on 
libera.chat, as most FOSS projects I'm in.

I think the main reason of looking outdated is the news section (e.g. 
last news of 2022 and before of 2015...)
Or just 1 bug in the bug tracker?
Broken links here and there....

Well there are packages where I am hard in supporting solaris 10 and 
9... I don't know his level and readiness!
For sure even a little newer GCC packages would make a great jump.
