I wouldn't hold my breath as to what Sun will do when it comes to RaQ's no
longer offered. Think about it: they have to pay a developer to make a pkg,
then test it. Then, Sun sees $0 for their efforts. Every patch they release,
they lose a bit of their profits. The longer they support a model, the more
they lose.

The loss for Sun isn't so bad with current models, since the patches hook
more than a few people into buying the latest model to get software version
X (myself included.)
