Yeah, I'm not optimistic here, either.  

Historically, the Solaris organization has not done well at following a
strict train model for releases.  I've had some hope that OpenSolaris
could do better, but that assumes sufficient independence from Sun.

Perhaps this argues for content-driven releases, rather than date-driven
releases.
