All features are worked on in the release-under-development *first*.
Always.

Backports to older releases (if any) occur only when there's a
compelling business case, and when there's an engineering judgment that
the work is safe for inclusion in a patch and that it's overall a
reasonable answer.  They're not often done, even for bug fixes, let
alone for new features.

Since this list is dedicated to OpenSolaris, I doubt you'll get good
answers about Solaris 10 here.  S10 isn't OpenSolaris.  You should
contact your local Sun/Oracle representative instead, and ask for help.

(My _guess_ would be that there wouldn't be much of a business case for
doing something like that.  The fact that you can already get wireshark
for S10 and older releases from multiple sources other than Sun means
that there's not a really compelling argument to say that Sun "has to"
deliver it.  But other features have shipped in patches, so what do I know?)
