If this is true, and I have no idea whether it is or not, seems odd that their 
blog entry wouldn't just have said "We're dropping support for Solaris because 
we can't afford the licence fee", or, "We're dropping support for Solaris 
because Oracle are teh suck!", rather than mumbling some woolly excuse about it 
not being one of their preferred Unix-like platforms.  Would probably have 
attracted a lot more sympathy, and possibly even an investor who wanted to pay 
for ongoing Solaris support.

Cheeri,
Calum.
