[OpenIndiana-discuss] The end is near

[Richard L. Hamilton]

Concluding that to represent the death of either Solaris or SPARC contradicts a very recent timeline http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/servers/sparc/oracle-sparc/sparc-roadmap-slide-2076743.pdf
let alone the current support document, which says

Solaris 11  Initial release Nov 2011 Premier support ends Nov 2031 Extended Support ends Nov 2034 Sustaining Support Indefinite

The timeline DEFINITELY showed active development of hardware and software (if perhaps less aggressive development of hardware) for at least four more years.  The way things are changing, I don't blame them for not forecasting further than that.
