I think support might be overstating it. There's an installer, it's been
known to produce
working systems. You lose a lot of capabilities along the way - no boot
environments,
upgrades, or zones.

And no, our ufs won't survive Y2038. And it cannot be fixed. There's not
really a lot of
reason to fix it, although we will at some point need to transition to an
alternative
mechanism to create the live ISO images.
