Solaris 10 does not have this feature yet.  It's only just been
integrated into OpenSolaris.  I don't know what the plans are (if any)
for backporting this functionality into a Solaris 10 Update Release.

Your analogy is pretty much on target.  Except the part about upgrading.
Using Live Upgrade makes upgrading from one version of OpenSolaris to
the next (provided your talking about Sun's distribution of OpenSolaris
called Solaris Express) painless.
