Sorry, I disagree. Given the desktop and developer focus of  
OpenSolaris 2008.05, it seems entirely rational to put SPARC on the  
"later" list. Now, if SPARC is still missing-in-action when the  
(Open)Solaris LTS distro that Tim Cramer talked about on Saturday  
happens, /that/ would be a big bug.
