Really? Look at SunSolve FAQ
http://sunsolve.sun.com/sunsolve/us/faq.html

Q  When will the Y2000 patches be included within the Security and
   Recommended Patch clusters? 

A  At this time Sun does not have plans to include Y2000 patches 
   within the Security and Recommended Patch Clusters. 

Q  What options will we have if we do not have a SunSpectrum Contract? 

A  For Solaris 2.x the only way to acquire Y2000 clusters will be with 
   a valid SunSpectrum Contract. SunOS 4.x users can purchase them 
   separately by calling 1-800-USA-4SUN.

I think you saw Y2000 patches for certain programs, not
Solaris as a whole.
