I have to say; "So What?" or "Whom will that inconvenience" ... because let's face it, the only people using Solaris for anything other than fun or low-impact use will be the big commercial people and they'll be paying for support anyway. I spent several years in the SunOS and Solaris world and am not looking back and if I really did want to look at Slowraris again, there's still Open Solaris.. But I've really, really no intentions of ever doing so.
