Hardly reasonable.
This may not be a surprise to you but people in datacenters with
Solaris servers tend to move very slowly and cautiously when it comes
to software changes.
You will get testsuite reports when people get to it. Not before. The
userbase for Solaris 8 upwards is quite well established and very
tier-1 level. Not to be ignored.
