I don't know of any reason star cannot be integrated into OpenSolaris.
I don't know of anyone working on integrating star into OpenSolaris.
No one has proposed a project on opensolaris.org or requested a sponsor
from the request-sponsor list.

The only reason I know of that star is not in OpenSolaris is no one,
including yourself, has volunteered to do the work necessary to make
it happen.   Roland did all this work for ksh93, and thus it's in.

Things don't integrate themselves, someone has to decide it's something
worth spending their time on and then do it.
