Translation: We'd like to dangle a carrot in front of Linux users in hopes they'll try out this feature and possibly get interested in switching to Solaris because of it. Don't hold your breath on us actually shipping anything. But we didn't open source Solaris due to competitive pressure from AIX or HPUX users, so they don't even get the carrot.
