Presumably Solaris is targeted at Solaris users. And many of them aren't
running Solaris 10 yet :-(

Given time, OpenSolaris LTS will be there for the traditional Solaris
customer base, I guess.

I believe we can do both. But to do so requires both that OpenSolaris

be OpenSolaris users), and that Solaris users who have something to give
to OpenSolaris don't pack their bags and leave.
