It is, but OpenSolaris 2010.03 (and by extension, its associated production 
release) is a product that is owned by Oracle, which is a different thing from 
the wider OpenSolaris project.  

While we're all waiting on 2010.03 to hit the repositories, development of the 
OpenSolaris source continues, and is publicly available. It's just currently 
not being neatly packaged by Oracle, while they concentrate on delivering 
2010.03.

Cheeri,
Calum.
