Except this isn't true, or at best it's misleading.

Currently there are no 5.9 packages so 5.9 support is by 5.8 packages,
thus 5.8 is as fully supported as 5.9 (a statement of truth about the
present).

The statement needs to distinguish the aims (CSW's commitment to support
Sun supported systems now and in future) and the offerings (what is
currently happening).
