netstack came about as a result of the integration of IP Instances[1]  
into the Nevada code base. IP Instances as a feature was deemed  
worthy by Sun to back port to Solaris 10, and thus it is ending up as  
one of the new features that Solaris updates add (Update 4 in this case)

Because IP Instances was putback to Nevada, it'll thus be in any  
Solaris Express released since that point... so Yes, it's in Solaris  
Express (SX, SXCE, SXDE) and will be in Solaris 10u4 as you pointed  
out... which is a good heads-up to have in our (OpenAFS's) case  
because my repeated begging to my Sun sales team to get me on the  
update beta programs seems to not go far.
