Check the EOL notices in the 2.6 release notes.
sun4c will be supported, but the bwtwo will not. That means no X on the
SLC and ELC. It also means they won't care if their software breaks on
other 1 bit displays. They will also EOL the ZX, leaving no supported
24 bit graphics on older hardware except for the 24 bit TCX on the SS5
and the SX on the SS20 and some SS10s.
