Moreover, providing security fixes has been a defined goal of OpenIndiana right from the beginning.
See the FAQ: Q: Will OpenIndiana provide security and bug fixes to their stable releases? A: Yes, absolutely. We view this as one of the key missing features that prevented widescale adoption of OpenSolaris in production environments. Precisely. I think a small fee for security fixes (on the order of, say, $50/y) would appear quite acceptable even to private or academic OI users.

I would be willing to pay $100-200/year per system for simple binary updates and no support calls (other than if simple updates don't work). I see that OmniOS offers commercial support ($1000/year for 2 sockets) but they don't say if that includes security support. The notion of "support" usually seems to include someone to call to work through difficult technical issues and not just delivery of updated binaries. It is really not all that difficult to offer security support. A couple of people should be able to accomplish it for the whole OS.
