Nevada was the codebase for Indiana and they are cross-polinated for  
the time being.  SX:CE builds are still being released, and work with  
JDS, ON, SFW are still supporting both releases, though Indiana does  
not have a method of receiving cutting-edge binary bits like SX:CE.   
You can however replace some components with those from SX:CE, and  
SVR4 packaging is still supported on Indiana so it's more than  
possible to use older packages, while the same can't be said about  
packages in ips format, which at the moment are not the primary  
format, as consideration for backwards compatibility is a must.
