nothing wrong, I was just describing the release mechanism for the sake

ok, I asked because I'm pretty sure Sol10 originally only came with 8.1,
and 8.2 then later 8.3 were added as part of incremental updates (don't
know offhand which update added what)
so, in mainstream solaris as opposed to opensolaris, 8.4 isn't likely to
be released any time soon?
I asked because we're working on an inhouse app using postgres, the team
wants to use 8.4... I had previously packaged 8.3.7 in solaris package
format only to have it come out as a patch a month or two later, so I
was hoping to save myself the redundant effort.
