Thanks, very helpful!  Is there a "minimum" number of systems/OSes this
is run on before a release goes out?


Or is it always just "best effort" based on which engineers are available?

We do internal testing of the bits before we integrate to Solaris (we
have to test not only OpenSSL itself, but a few of the big things that
depend on it).  Not sure how interesting those test results would be
to anyone not using Solaris :-)
