A bit offtopic, but I'm interested what's the point of using so old OS (support still exists though)?
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.
