I can't disagree with you :-)

But what triplet would you choose for it?  Maybe *-sun-solaris3.0.  And since 
they are not that dumb at Sun :-), the next one could be named Solaris G3 
Release 2, which would be triplet-ed as *-sun-solaris3.2.

So you will end up with the *-sun-solaris2.* series and the *-sun-solaris3.* 
series and in the middle... *-sun-solaris10.  At which point you may want to 
eat the first Sun employee within your reach :-)

I think we'd better keep the current naming [solarisx.y for sunos(3+x).y] for 
the whole SunOS 5.x series.  When the technical guys decide to switch to 
SunOS 6.x, we'll organize a naming contest :-)
