I don't see how it necessarily implies so. Remember, SXDE had
commercial support available too, but things in are certainly not
guaranteed to be in Solaris for a long time.

It depends on what kind of support is being offered.

I wouldn't expect something beyond "developer support" to be offered
at this point, but only Sun knows what they'll do.
