You have hit a big issue. I too was looking at the new Solaris 10 release
and I took note also of the new Companion DVD which has a whopping 119
packages on it as well as a version of KDE from 2004.

All joking aside we have a lot of overlap and that is because we are still
supporting Solaris 8 as well as getting more up to date software out the
door for Solaris 10 users.

Making a comparison map .. sounds like a great weekend project for me.
