That makes sense, thanks.

Any thoughts on offering "official experimental" binary distributions for features we want to test?

I'd be happy to upload sb-thread versions of the solaris and darwin ports for users to experiment with, but these are clearly not stable enough to be the default (and are not the default yet when building from source). 

Thanks,
