At the time when latest OpenSolaris source code is still available, a fork
attempt is possible. We see (and put our hopes into) the Illumos project. There
are Nexenta and others.
The question is: Which fork will receive the most stunning evolution? Solaris
11? Illumos? Other? The answer is not obvious.

We canâEUR^(TM)t do everything. The limiting factor
is our engineering bandwidth measured in people and time.

What if some project like Illumos would get more talented developers than
Oracle has? Where would you go tomorrow?
What I hope is that Illumos will go where Oracle won't. That to me
would be a Desktop-Workstation-Laptop direction. My belief is most
people/companies who use servers or Oracle Databases will follow the
path to Solaris 11. Since Oracle has no interest otherwise, I see it as
the opportunity.
Only time will tell, I'm going to be here, god willing.
