Yes, for Solaris 8 we get, for example,

SunOS capulet 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4

However, Sun has never used "Solaris 2.8" to identify such systems.

I think that we should just document the current behavior and move on.
It can be confusing, but there are higher priority issues.
