No. The only ISO's made will be OpenSolaris LiveCD's. It won't even be
possible to make the SVR4 packaged ISO's from the bits built & delivered
by the consolidations, since they'll be transitioning (over time, not all
at once) to only building and delivering IPS packages. You'd have to
build your own SVR4 packages to recreate the old-style isos.

No, you need to transition to working with IPS. There are internal
presentations on this, but they emphasize that we're not treating
internal & external developers differently here - we're stopping the
old-WOS production/release for everyone at the same time.
