That's a difficult question, to be honest. From a user perspective, it's hard to
track these upstream announcements. I would argue that most users don't follow
all such changes in the upstream projects they are using and, to be honest, I really
wouldn't have expected that Solaris 11.3 would be considered obsolete.

If it had been for Solaris 7, 8 or 9, I would totally understand. But even Solaris 10
is something that Oracle still supports [1].
