It's obviously not my place to say what will or will not happen since I no longer work at Sun. So I'll leave the official answer up to them.
But, if Sun is looking for input, which seems to be the case, I would suggest having both available. OS's support multiple pieces of code which supply similar functionality, so why not multiple targets. Unless things have changed within Sun, I would expect to see the COMSTAR project released as part of the NWS consolidation, while the iSCSI Target is part of ON.
