You must have misunderstood what I wanted to say. The /bin/sh is a Bourne-Shell on Solaris as well as on HP/UX, these systems default to csh for *interactive user shells*, but /bin/sh is there. You can install a Posix compatible shell on Solaris (typically /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) but this is not mandatory. I see little reason to drop support for platforms that have a "working" /bin/sh but not a XPG4 compatible one. You'd require more from a system than most other projects - the configure script autoconf creates works with Solaris' sh for example.
