I might at some point (since I've no intention to make their live
harder, but have neither the time nor the ressources to do testing on
one or more Illumos derivative myself), but that's not related to the
S10 obsoletion.

FreeBSD is getting there, I believe.  But the Illumos community seems to
act the same way with LLVM/Clang: their patches stay local and don't get
upstream.  I noticed this when working on the sanitizer port on Solaris,
so there may be a pattern here ;-)
