But none of those have Performance Co-Pilot either so who knows what
people are looking for?

Performance Co-Pilot was started in 1998 and from 2003 it has been
able to run on Solaris. Still no one has packaged it for Solaris and
you're holding your breath about possible collision/confusion?

PCP is Solaris specific and it's the first one to be packaged, isn't
it logical that the second one will have to adjust? If it ever becomes
an issue.
