While OpenSolaris 2008.05 is only two months old, work at Sun is already underway in preparing for the second OpenSolaris release, which will be known as OpenSolaris 2008.11 and has been codenamed Jericho.

It's left out due to space constraints. There simply isn't enough room to include the basic software and all the language support needed on a single cd.
Before you ask "why not a dvd?": for right now, the target audience is a user of a single cd.

Well the current iso of opensolaris-93 is delivered as a dvd image already because it exceeded the cd size. You can get the same release minus some goodies in a cd size iso image. So the target audience must not make that much of a difference. In fact I haven't read any open marketing material that claimed the size of the image is going to make and difference at all for opensolaris. That is by force one size fits all.
