Solaris history is indeed legendary, but not for its stability.

Well, when you consider what dict(1) has to say about 'legendary':

Of or pertaining to a legend or to legends; consisting of legends

when legends are:

Any wonderful story coming down from the past, but not verifiable by
historical record; a myth; a fable

You and Erast may be violently agreeing with each other.

 If you aren't getting Solaris-specific features (dtrace, etc ?),
 then what's the point of running Solaris?

Nexenta is absolutely rock stable OS (thanks to legendary Solaris
history) and moving towards running any applications written for Solaris
and OpenSolaris as is without re-compilation. All cool features like
DTrace, ZFS, Zones, Kernel DDI, world class UNIX management tools are
are available and integrated.
