Two reasons:
First, wisk has
# If no owner is specified to install, default to root.
setenv INSTOPT "-o root"
in an effort to make more stuff owned by root before fix_owners
existed.
Second, previous Solaris builds were probably built by root onto local
disk, then tarred to AFS. (If it wasn't the case that these files were
installed by hand to begin with.)
