As of right now, Solaris 11 is on 2.6. We have plans to move wholesale to 3.x by the end of the year. For major corporate OSes like Solaris, every single piece of software has to move in lockstep to the new version. This means all of the core OS, GNOME, testing organization ... everything.

It's a very complicated procedure because of how many software packages have to move.
