While I'm fairly sure Oracle disagrees with Mr. Harvey's claim that it's
not considered production worthy, the storage appliances aren't using
Solaris 11 Express - their OS comes off the same "Nevada" train, but
their latest release is a newer build than 2010.11, and they of course
also get bug fixes under support contracts. (Solaris 11 Express 2010.11
bug fixes are only available if you buy a support contract, not under
the free development/evaluation license.)
