At risk of angering the multitudes and breaking compatability, would it
be possible to change the $(class) variable on Solaris Sparc machines to
something more descriptive? Currently it evaluates to "solaris", which
creates the awful situation of "solaris" being defined on Sparcs but not
on Intels.
It is very counterintuitive to a reader (especially one not familiar
with the quirks of cfengine) to realize that
solaris::
stuff
solarisx86::
otherstuff
is an either/or situation, not a superset/subset.
