In reviewing the release notes, I've identified a couple possibly open issues:
1. Solaris OS upgrade is ALSO an upgrade to running in 64 bit mode by
default. This has been made as invisible to end users as possible.
Program developers may need to know this. End users may need a brief
mention of what can happen if they trip over a rough edge?
2. It is possible that Linux users are sufficiently clueful that they'll
want to know we went to the 2.4 kernel.
If we're mentioning OpenAFS then mentioning 64 bits and the 2.4 kernel
seem at about the same clueness level to me.
3. We might want to point Developers at whatever Sun documentation is
relevant lore on 64 bit programming.
