Well...there are probably people that prefer for example

This is why few Solaris users did accept Indiana.
Based on what data do you make that assertion?
* SVR4 packages vs IPS vs whatever packaging scheme Nexenta uses
(there too there's a problem, inasmuch as other tools like beadm and zonecfg
are also involved, although I gather it ought to be possible to come up with
different versions of them for each packaging scheme that some distro or
another uses)
SVR4 packages support sparse zones, IPS does not.
The choice to not support sparse zones was a decision made by the zones
team; not by the packaging team.
...
But don't forget that the most commercial (i.e. developers that do it as
their day job) distro outside of Oracle is probably Nexenta, and they
do Debian-based packaging and command set.
Commercial developers still use SVR4 packages
And I would expect them to until the image packaging system provides a
full set of documentation, and the man page no longer says "in development".
