I'm confused. I tried to find this posting at opensolaris.org, but it doesn't 
seem to be there.

I understand that Oracle needs to make  money from Sun, but I think changing 
Solaris from an OS that will run on many vendors' hardware to one that is the 
equivalent of HP-UX changes the game. People already spoke of Solaris is 
irrelevant. I think they're wrong, but this change is enough that I doubt there 
will be many advocates left.
