P.S. I really like Solaris. And I wished to try OpenSolaris on some

OpenSolaris has never had patches, it has regular updates.
Yes. But at I use /dev branch and for long time didn't know that
OpenSolaris updates are not free (/support repository). There were a
lot of information about Fedora/RedHat model, and Fedora's updates are
free. So I hoped that it was a temporary state. And now, after recent
Oracle steps it seems to be a long-term decision.
The dev repository is for updates. The support repository is for paid
support fixes, which will end up in the dev repository.
