The reason this is interesting to me is that the Raspberry Pi has now been shipping with 512MB of RAM, there was an OpenSolaris port to ARM processors and the Pi has a stable hardware list. 1 video and sound driver needed. 1 usb/ethernet chipset.
AMD has announced that within two years they will have an "Opteron" based on the ARM architecture. This will be in addition to continuing evolution of x86-64. There will be serious ARM hardware available suitable for running Illumos-based systems. There will be ARM64 hardware available (from other than AMD) for deployment within the next 5 months.
Hopefully some company will decide to add ARM support for Illumos.
