You can take "takes" 'till the cows come home, but the day Solaris breaks backward compatibility is the day Solaris will become crap, just like some other "UNIX-like" kernel under the GNU label that does that kind of thing all the time.

And I do not believe any self-respecting engineer at Sun will ever allow for something like that to happen. Well, perhaps they would... over their dead bodies.
Luckily for the rest of us out there in the wild.
