I think Havoc's point was that most people _can't_ lay their hands on
a Sparc and therefore, won't test it. Even if they could get access
to a Sparc over the net somewhere, that's not good for much more than
compile testing... I've run X apps over the net (through Wash U's T3
and my ethernet at the time) and I can't imagine debugging that way.
