I would be careful to formulate such statements.

For example, the sgi IRIX's inst(1M) software management subsystem provides all 
the functionality that pkg(1M) is currently scrambling to provide, plus more, 
like a very intelligent dependency resolution system.

inst(1M) would be perfect for not just OpenSolaris, but Solaris in general, if 
it weren't proprietary and closed source.

However, I do agree that rpm is not suitable for Solaris in general, and that 
includes OpenSolaris. For example, things like classes aren't supported.
