   Short version: It works.

   Long version:

   Solaris 10 is still supported; the production systems here are 
patched up to current as of last week.  So while the base release is 
quite a few years old, the OS installed on these systems is considered 
current.  When support and a current patch stream are no longer 
available, we will revisit our configuration.

   For these production systems, there is currently no need for any 
capability or feature that exists only in "newer" OS releases.  When 
that changes, we will revisit our configuration.

   Until then, it's rock solid and does everything required of it. 
There are no problems to be addressed.  At least here, we don't fix 
things that aren't broken.
