I am not sure about where you live but in the real world, there is NO IPS

In the world I live in, IPS is in Solaris Nevada, the development branch of the
next release of the Oracle Solaris commercial product, and the source of the
code that Oracle releases to the OpenSolaris project.
That's interesting. While I have come to terms with IPS and now like it
despite its foibles it doesn't appear to have gained traction with other
teams inside Oracle (or maybe it has and their work hasn't been
released?). One particular annoyance for me as a developer is the lack
of an IPS version of the latest Studio Express, or updates to Studio
12. I have to keep my development server running SXCE in order to get
patches.
If Solaris Next is to be IPS based, I really really hope we will see a
viable upgrade path. The lack of one is the biggest hurdle to IPS adoption.
