To whom it may concern:

-- Solaris 9 exiting Extended Support period
https://blogs.oracle.com/patch/entry/solaris_9_exiting_extended_support

Interesting part:

"...  all patches created during the Extended Support period [ed: for 
Solaris 9] will revert to "Operating System" access entitlement on MOS 
so they are available to all customers will a valid support contract, 
not just those that purchased Extended Support."

and

"There will be a final patch release cycle in November for both Solaris 
8 and Solaris 9 to release bug fixes currently in process. After that, 
there'll be no new Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 patches created.  All existing 
patches will remain available."

Martin.
