Well, AFAIK, 90% of SmartOS users are on the Joyent Cloud and get
upgraded automatically. It's not much used as a portable OS. So for
them, it is enough.

Given that Theo's patch against Illumos went in in 2012, I think we can
take that as our cutoff date for Illumos.

The question is: how many folks out there are running PostgreSQL on
Solaris 10? And are they at all likely to upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.5?

Unfortunately, these questions are coming up right when Bjorn is on
vacation ...
