That's a very good question actually. I would think that COMSTAR would
stay because its used by the Fishworks appliance... however, COMSTAR is
a competitive advantage for DIY storage solutions. Maybe they will rip
it out of S11 and make it an add-on or something. That would suck.
I guess the only real reason you can't yank COMSTAR is because its now
the basis for iSCSI Target support. But again, there is nothing saying
that Target support has to be part of the standard OS offering.
Scary to think about. :)

That would be the sensible commercial decision, and kill off the competition in
the storage market using OpenSolaris based product.
No, it wouldn't. We (Nexenta) are probably the biggest player here. If
Oracle yanks the code, we'll keep a copy ourselves. Indeed, we are in
the process of some enhancements to this code which will make it into
Illumos, but probably not into Oracle Solaris unless they pull from
Illumos. :-)
I haven't found a linux that can reliably spin the 100Tb I currently have
behind OpenSolaris and ZFS.
Luckily b134 doesn't seem to have any major issues, and I'm currently looking
into a USB boot/raidz root combination for 1U storage.
I ran Red Hat 9 with updated packages for quite a few years.
As long as the kernel is stable, and you can work through the hurdles, it can
still do the job.
Sure.
