[illumos-Developer] ON is bloated and a bunch of stuff that doesn't need to be there should be ripped out (was Re: Heads up: perl 5.8.4 removal)

[Bryan Cantrill]

For whatever it's worth, ripping out SunOS 4.x compatibility was
always one of Tim Marsland's dreams.  He always demurred, and given
how badly he wanted to do it, it was probably for good reason.  Tim is
now a kernel engineer at Apple; don't know if he's on this list
(Tim?), but it might be a good idea to reach out for some history
here...
