Much as I prefer Evolution over Thunderbird myself, most people who are already using Evolution on OpenSolaris today are likely to be upgrading to 2009.03 rather than doing a clean install, so they won't notice it going away. And first-timers who are doing a clean install will probably never know that it used to be there. So really, this change would only affect a small percentage of users, and these days it's pretty trivial to pull down Evolution from the repos anyway. (We certainly wouldn't be the only GNOME distro that only shipped Thunderbird on the install CD, either.)
