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.
