Let's stick to the facts:
http://www.sun.com/service/eosl/solaris/solaris_vintage_eol_5.2005.xml
Solaris 7 reached its EOSL just last month. Solaris 8 won't reach it
for another 3½ years!
Ok, I jumped the gun a bit, and should have double checked my facts.
However, for all practical purposes, the EOL Phase 1 dates are the ones
to go by as no patches are rreleased after that. 7 was EOL Phase 1 in
2005, and 8 reaches that in March 09.
Solaris 9 hasn't even stopped shipping yet so it's not "nearing the
end" in any way.
I suspect this will be pretty soon now, however, and EOL phase 1 is 2
years later.
