Oh I get it.No you don't.You can use a "trust relationship with your administrators" to get around the fact that Sun sold a piece of hardware which does not provide the isolation they promised in their white papers and documentation.It is a bug. What you seem to be unable to grasp is that you can configure the officially supported operating system to mitigate the effects of that bug. I guess you don't want to accept that because it diminishes the size of the problem.
Oh you can avoid the problem by using only the vendor recommended configurations! Or so you think. A Solaris kernel module could trigger exactly the same bug. You'll see... you'll see.... You demand too little from your vendors; you probably get very little as a result..
