I think Oracle have been quite clear about their plans for OpenSolaris. They have publicly said they plan to continue to support it and the community.

They're just a little distracted right now because they are in the process of on-boarding many thousand Sun employees, and trying to get them feeling happy, comfortable and at home in their new surroundings so that they can start making money again.

The silence means that you're in a queue and they forgot to turn the "hold" music on. Have patience. :-)

Oracle's silence is starting to become a bit ominous. What are
the future options for zfs, should OpenSolaris be left dead
in the water by Suracle? I have no insight into who core
zfs developers are (have any been fired by Sun even prior to
the merger?), and who's paying them. Assuming a worst case
scenario, what would be the best candidate for a fork? Nexenta?
Debian already included FreeBSD as a kernel flavor into its
fold, it seems Nexenta could be also a good candidate.

Maybe anyone in the know could provide a short blurb on what
the state is, and what the options are.
