The changes into S10 updates are generally relatively small, except
for newboot (as it's an in-your-face change).

ZFS is not a big change in the sense it is avoidable.

In Sun-speak, there have been no major releases since Solaris 2.0.

Solaris 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are all *minor*
releases (minor meaning: full backward compatibility for applications
with the exception of end-of-features)

And while changes in S10 updates are big, they are still dwarfed by
the amount of change between S9 and S10.
