Can't wait till it costs you money because Sun doesn't have enough expertise
assigned to Solaris 8 problem resolution.

I have never *said* stop supporting Solaris 8.    Stop putting words in 
my mouth.

I have consistenly said "don't go to super human effort to port 
applciation to
Solaris 8".  IE, if it doesn't compile out of the box on Solaris 8, move to
Solaris 9.   Even so, there are performance enhancements that are lost
because the SW is compiled for a 7 year old OS and 10 year old hardware.
That's what I call an albatross
