The reason why I wrote "top priority" is because in my understanding osnet-incorporation basically is kernel, network stack, filesystems, and device drivers, and basic userland libraries and applications such as Bourne / Korn shell.
osnet-incorporation is intentionally frozen on the build server. After every successfull jenkins run (either oi-userland or illumos-gate) the build server will be automatically update packages on it if necessary. In order to prohibit automatic updates of osnet (and automatic reboots) it is frozen. Of course from time to time it also needs to be updated but I do that only if the actual version is tested on other systems by me. Typically I do that once a week.
So more than any programming language or application or user level library, I would think the above needs updating. However I do not have experience with the implications and overall OpenIndiana release engineering.
I learned it the hard way when nobody else was left who was able and willing to do it.
So I must add that if an update would somehow break OpenIndiana features such as the MATE desktop, the OpenIndiana desktop, then osnet-incorporation cannot be updated, and then in that case OpenIndiana is stuck with the 'frozen' osnet-incorporation.
We build illumos-gate nightly. If any changes have been merged into illumos-gate you will get it the next day when you run "pkg update" on your systems. Only the build server is protected by freezing osnet-incorporation. Of course, you can do the same but you should know the implications...
