But what about all those users that have some sort of "old" hardware at home (like SparcStations 10, 20, 5, 4 and so on) ? It's nice to support only the latest hardware, but here I think this way would be wrong. We should support both the "old" hardware baesd on sun4, sun4m, sun4d and the Ultra-based machines.
