I haven't followed OpenSolaris stuff for long time but I suppose they don't depend on proprietary binary blobs from Sun anymore.

For who is that unfortunate?
Anyone who cares about flexibility or quality? Those blobs can't be audited for bugs, can't get new features from the community, present a pain point for refactors, and I would expect impede porting to new architectures (though the existence of the ARM port makes me less sure of that point).
