[geeks] Sun killing SXCE/Nevada?

[William Enestvedt]

I read this today:
------------------------------------------------------------
End of Life for Solaris Express Community Edition (Nevada)
Production Expected to be Discontinued by October's End

Sun will be discontinuing the Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE)
and intends for its end of life (EOL) to be complete by the end of
October. This move is part of a consolidation of how OpenSolaris and
Solaris are distributed. In an announcement, Sun's OpenSolaris Product
Manager Glynn Foster indicated that Sun does plan on continuing the
bi-weekly release schedule, but will move towards producing native Image
Packaging System (IPS) packages of the latest Solaris packages, allowing
users to upgrade from an existing release or pre-release.
------------------------------------------------------------

   So that was pretty quick.... Or was that always the plan?
