this bit is what gave me that thought.
excerpt:
Oracle Corp. is not planning to cooperate with the Illumos project and
OpenSolaris community, according to a leaked internal company memo.
Oracle's plans pose a threat to ZFS-based storage systems that use OpenSolaris code,
although the CEO of Nexenta Systems Inc. said neither the vendor's ZFS storage
system or Illumos will change as a result. "

What leaked memo is that? The only leaked memo that I have seen
(actually, I was on the cc: list for the original memo, so I didn't
have to wait for the leak) didn't mention Illumos at all. My take is
not that Oracle plans on not cooperating with Illumos, it is that
Oracle is not planning on cooperating with Illumos. That is, Illumos
is not on the roadmap, one way or another. I may be wrong, I am not
privy to any inside info, and apparently even when I am, it is in the
News the next day anyway.
