Oracle never publicly announced it. The last commit that I see copyrighted by Oracle is https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/ea10ff14a02f7... on August 18, 2010. After that, updates from Oracle silently stop.

But your point stands well. Oracle only had a paltry 7-8 months of contributions.

In my opinion, and I really don't know who would share this view, since Sun opened Solaris, illumos is now what Solaris was intended to be; it's not the illumos community that forked Solaris, it was Oracle.
