Updates to SUNW packages for existing OS releases are delivered as
patches, just as they've always been. Sun doesn't release new versions
of existing packages for existing releases, because then they'd have to
maintain multiple patch trains for that release. The basic confusion
in your post seems to be confusing Linux style "all updates are new
package releases" with Solaris's "patches update existing packages"
system.
