Well, my best guesstimate based on prior experience is no- changes in
Solaris verions have had a lot less effect on Third Party apps than
IRIX ones have had - if 7 is not significantly different
architecturally from 2.6, I'd bet money that there won't be a
problem... perhaps the release-team folks have some thoughts about
this.
