Actually I haven't heard about any significant application issues between
10 and 11. Between 9 and 10 there were a number of file system layout changes
as I pointed out previously, to bring UX into compliance with Unix standards.
Some applications hardwired file pathnames, etc., which caused issues. At
that time, HP went to significant effort to aid migration; for example, there
was a source code scanning tool to identify deprecated usage and change it
on the fly for customers.

But that's not the case for 10 -> 11. Stan, I'd be curious as to what you
think the issues are.
