I'm not sure there's any great mystery here... Sun has a calendar  
server product in its portfolio[1], and in addition to the web  
interface that provides, Sun has contributed both code to Lightning  
and a plugin to Evolution to ensure that both the supported calendar  
clients in the OpenSolaris desktop can talk to it via WCAP.  So that,  
presumably, is the calendar solution that Sun would like you to deploy  
in your enterprise-- although both clients can of course also talk to  
other types of server with the appropriate plugins.

As to whether dtcm will go away... AFAIK, yes, that's the plan.

Cheeri,
Calum.
