From what I have heard, the core of the OS engineers had left when Oracle acquired Sun back in 2010. And those developers have continued to be the largest contributors to Illumos.
So, in essence, Illumos is the real continuation of Sun Solaris.
- srvmshr 5y agoThis is factually true - The exodus from Sun Microsystems started when the takeover news started doing the rounds. The OS team was a shell of what was before. Then Oracle further squeezed that division ~2015-17. All those remain are the switchovers or people who have been promised a lot of TC to keep that brand just about alive.
