[pca] Solaris 10 gone into extended support

[Martin Paul]

Dear PCA users,

I have been informed that Solaris 10 has gone into extended support on 
February 1st 2018. This means that you will not be able to download 
(new) patches for Solaris 10 anymore with your standard Oracle Premier 
Support.

The blog article at 
https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris/oracle-solaris-10-support-explained 
tells you which options you have:

1) Continue your Oracle Premier Support for Systems or Oracle Premier 
Support for Software subscription and migrate to Oracle Solaris 11 free 
of charge.

2) Transition to Oracle Solaris 10 Extended Support and be entitled to 
continue to receive updates as you already have been.

3) Transition to Oracle Solaris 10 Sustaining Support. You will be 
entitled to patches that were available as of January 31, 2018. So, even 
if your systems aren't quite up to date, you will be able to update them 
to those fixes in the future.

4) Discontinue Oracle Solaris 10 Support.


Best regards,
Martin.
