I mostly recall seeing that statement around the transition period from SunOS 4.x (later called Solaris 1.x) to SunOS 5.x (Solaris 2.x). This was where Sun transitioned from a BSD style Unix to the AT&T Sys V style Unix.
Also, admins were accustomed to the BSD userland, and not happy about the other changes occurring to. If you look at the Solaris FAQ from Casper Dik, there are still references from admins not happy about losing the BSD rc files (i.e. rc, rc.network, rc.local) and getting stuck with the Sys V rc directories, each directory filled with files.
