Wasn't there also a plan to turn it into a development server to give users the benifit of of a sun4u platform as well as a sun4v?
They're pretty much the same as far as development is concerned, bar the need for threading on Sun4v.
And didn't we decide that Linus on Sparc was bad because no one uses it?
That's almost entirely a Sun_4v issue.
And sun are more likly to give us stuff if we run solaris on sun hardware... They don't seem to be very likely to do that anyway. And I doubt they know/care about a 280R
