Yeah!  All this successful work on Sage+Solaris is great.

Yes.

To
celebrate, I've created a new mailing list:
      http://groups.google.com/group/sage-solaris
which is for all discussions related to Solaris and Sage.  I would
like to encourage *everybody* reading this with an interest in Solaris to subscribe, and also like to strongly encourage new threads that are
only relevant to Solaris/Sage to get posted there (rather than
sage-devel).

Personally I think that was a *very* bad idea. 95% of people won't read the list, so 95% of people will not read particular problems that were created by others that have an impact on Solaris.

Are there lists for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva or OS X?

These systems don't cause near the traffic. We have a separate list for the Windows/cygwin efforts. Most people on sage-devel don't touch anything that will impact Solaris (e.g. they only mess with Python code in the Sage library itself), and release managers, etc. will be on that list.

This will simply isolate Solaris and make it more difficult to keep Sage building on Solaris.

That is true to some extent. But keeping everything on one list makes keeping up with all other areas of Sage development more difficult.
