The distinction is quickly shrinking. I think the trend has been to
value compatibility with Linux over compatibility with legacy Solaris,
at least for OpenSolaris and probably also for whatever next release of
Solaris might be forthcoming. (At least at the shell/command line
level. The *library* level -i.e. C API - is a totally different story,
of course.)

We have plans centered around 3.0.x and 3.1, and our plans for 4.0 are
still forming. For 3.0. and 3.1, we will remain based on the same
release of Ubuntu. For 4.0, there will be a major change, but the
ultimate base of this is still under debate.
I don't know if marketing has released any timelines yet, so I won't do
so here. But you should contact our sales group if you want to find out
more -- they can probably say more than I can.
