Indiana is newer than Nevada in that there is technology in Indiana that hasn't been integrated into Nevada yet. Nevada was based on Solaris 10 when it first came into existence, but it's long beyond that now to where it really is it's own entity. So it's based on Solaris 10 in the same way as Solaris 10 was based on Solaris 9. Most of the development isn't happening just in Indiana, since Indiana is merely a project. There a LOTS of projects going on in OpenSolaris, most if not all have roots in Nevada in some form or other. As for what Solaris 11 will look like (if there even is a Solaris 11, Sun Marketing names the releases for all we know it could be Solaris 12 or something else entirely) is entirely up in the air at this point.
