No.  Trolls encourage FUD.  

The missed release date doesn't encourage FUD if you just relax about it,
and ask yourself why do you care so much.  Does it create any material
difference to you, affect your bank statement, impact your personal health,
if 2010.x is delayed?  For the meantime, you can continue using the
developer builds, or 2009.06, whichever you prefer.  Or sol10.

Are you scared that osol will cease to exist?  That's not possible.

Are you scared that oracle will cease development efforts on osol?  This is
the worst case possible scenario.  If oracle suddenly fired every employee
who ever worked on osol, it would not make today's osol a bad product
overnight.  If you're using it, you can continue using it.  You will have
plenty of time in the next year or two, to think about what OS you're going
to use next, and gracefully switch to it, before any significant feature is
missing from osol.
