The author of this post has not stated who he spoke to. I suspect he has spoken to a random from #openindiana on irc.freenode.net, who is not actually an active developer.
The OpenIndiana developers collaborate on #oi-dev on irc.freenode.net.
Also the Solaris kernel is excellent and has features that put it ahead of the game in many areas. Take Solaris Zones, the fully virtualised network stack (crossbow), the COMSTAR SCSI (iSCSI/FCoE) target framework, the Fault Management Architecture (FMA), along with a whole host of other advantages, put it significantly ahead of the game. Also thanks to Joyent the illumos kernel supports KVM, something FreeBSD does not.
