My information is that Sun has still (as of 2 weeks ago) not made up
it's mind.  Seems that they feel that there are problems with both.

Sun had planned to release their Symbolic Programming Environment
on Sun 3.0, but eventually went ahead and released it under Lucid 2.1.

It seems that it's still up in the air.
