It seems to have steadied down now. It's been "Sun Studio" since Sun
Studio 8, 5 versions and 5 years and a bit ago.

Despite the name instability, the compiler itself has has remained
compatible (for better or for worse) since Workshop 5.

FWIW my guess is that there will never be a Solaris Next, but instead
everything will gradually be backported into 10, with the 10uNs
becoming essentially releases.

This is based on quite major chunks of stuff already going into 10
(ZFS, ZFS root, huge changes in the boot process, probably other
things) and having looked at various OpenSolaris versions and shuddered
when I tried to think about how they would be sold to large customers
as an upgrade ("Oh yes, all that infrastructure you developed around
that feature? that's all obsolete now" <door slams>).
