And, in looking at this list I don't see that this means upgrade, or existing Solaris instances. I think it means existing Solaris partitions will be supported.
The issue is of course that we cannot upgrade from a previous release to Slim. And, we cannot upgrade Slim to a newer build. So, we have to make sure that we mark the Slim installations appropriately so they won't be recognized as upgradeable instances. And, we can't offer upgrade with Slim since previous Solaris releases contain more and different contents.
