I remember that Gavin was opposed. I still think that having a way to customize the shell could be relevant independentely of this issue, but I'll let Gavin decide. > - or to drop Solaris 11 OmniOS from the CI.

And there is also the opencsw build farm CI, which is, in my opinion, even more interesting as it tests older setups than the Solaris 11.4 in the CI: https://buildfarm.opencsw.org/buildbot/waterfall?category=texinfo If we drop omnios from the platforms that are run, I think that it would be better to leave it in the file and retest from time to time. -- Pat
