Agreed.

Now if we are talking about providing Solaris downloads on our own
site again, that's definitely something we can discuss. IIRC not a
single person comlpained/noted when we removed them when they stopped
being maintained -- but no complaints doesn't mean that nobody is
using them. And if Marcel is willing to commit to maintaining them
again, then we should definitely consider it. But that includes things
like timely updates after every minor release, and maintaining all
versions, not just 13 and 14 (assuming there is not a technical reason
making it *impossible* to build other versions).

Please report that as a bug to EDB (webmaster(at)enterprisedb(dot)com),
because I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to be.
