Hello Martin.  Long time no hear.

This is just a case of the Solaris product line aging and aging as it 
does. I did the same thing every one else did, I looked at output from 
PCA on the weekend a little while ago and then opened an SR and was 
given this line from Oracle Support :


     Solaris 10 entered Extended Support in January 2018.
     Refer to the following:
       Solaris Operating System End Of Life Matrix ( Doc ID 1001343.1 )



   Release     End of            End of            End of
               Premier Support   Extended Support  Sustaining Support


   Solaris 11  Nov 2031          Nov 2034          Indefinite

   Solaris 10  Jan 2018          Jan 2021          Indefinite

   Solaris 9   Oct 2011          Oct 2014          Indefinite

   Trusted
   Solaris 8*  Mar 2012          Not Available     Indefinite

   Solaris 8*  Mar 2009          Oct 2014          Indefinite



So that is that.

I am surprised to hear that anyone was able to get update patches to the
Oracle Studio developer tools. Those require a whole other support
contract.  At least that is what I was told.
