Yes, this may not make business sense for Sun-as-structured, but someone will figure out how to scratch that itch because it's real for a LOT of small businesses. They want that low cost entry into a business-grade NAS without having to build it themselves, something that's a step up from a whitebox 2-disk mirror from some no-name vendor who won't exist in 6 months.
It is a free country so there is nothing which prevents someone from developing a really nice NAS admin interface for OpenSolaris and selling it as a commercial product at a reasonable price-point. Everything needed is already in OpenSolaris. It is not necessary to depend on Sun for everything.
