That would be the sensible commercial decision, and kill off the competition in the storage market using OpenSolaris based product. I haven't found a linux that can reliably spin the 100Tb I currently have behind OpenSolaris and ZFS. Luckily b134 doesn't seem to have any major issues, and I'm currently looking into a USB boot/raidz root combination for 1U storage. I ran Red Hat 9 with updated packages for quite a few years. As long as the kernel is stable, and you can work through the hurdles, it can still do the job.
