P.S. I really like Solaris. And I wished to try OpenSolaris on some new servers, e.g., database server (ZFS, Zones and Comstar are quite tasty :) ) . But without free patches it's not really an option now.
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.
