[rescue] Whither Solaris 10

[Jerry Kemp]

Solaris 10 went GA/was released in 2005.  A decade later it is still being 
actively supported by Oracle, and I believe that someone posted an EOL of 2018.

My only question is will Solaris 10 win any awards for the longest actively 
supported version of an operating system?

Has any other version been stuck on on version anywhere as long as Solaris 10 
without the owning company going TU?
