In fact, support *is* available for Solaris Express.  See:

What's not available are patches.  Patches are not built for releases
that are still under development.

We certainly hope so.  Marketing hasn't computed the next number after
"10," though, so we're not allowed to call the next release anything
other than "Nevada" right now.
