In the Solaris kernel group, we have strong beliefs in reliability, observability, serviceability, resource management, and binary compatibility.... There is a very small bit of Solaris that is platform specific, and is scattered throughout the codebase such that it would be impossible to separate.Does that not seem somewhat inconsistent? If your core beliefs include "reliability" and "serviceability", wouldn't it make sense to ensure sure the platform specific code was already and essentially separated from the rest, as opposed to being "scattered throughout the codebase [and] impossible to separate"?
