Can you share with us what you know regarding the maintenance of the
/release branch? Is the statement from the support FAQ that "security
and device driver fixes" will be made available for free still valid,
will this definitely be provided at some point in the future?
As I mentioned before, what exactly can and will be provided is still
being decided.
IMO the /release branch is currently such a bad shape that the numerous
vulnerabilities (Firefox, OpenSSL, BIND, NFS from the top of my head)
forbid any serious use of it.
There are a number of people working on finalising the processes needed
to create a sustaining tail for OpenSolaris releases. The right
individuals are well aware of the undesirable aspects of the current
/release repository and are working to resolve them as best as they can.
