Who would pertain Oracle IdM or Sun IdM ?

After the SUN acquisition,there has been a debate on the future of the Identity management suite,which one would pertain Oracle IDM or SUN IDM?

If I see this from Marketing or Business Perspective then,I think that in the short term there will be no changes and Oracle would be continuing with both stacks ,while in long run Oracle will focus on their new internal organization. As a matter of fact Oracle don't want to see the SUN employees leaving the boat massively as well as SUN customers.
One strategy could be in short tem,Oracle IDM for Large Deployments and SUN IDM for small Deployments . In the medium term they may end up proposing to the SUN customers some sort of migration program.
Technically,the Speculation is tough as Oracle IDM stores all its information in a database directory and SUN stores meta information gathered from resources. Genetically tough to do.
However,Oracle has a leading advantage of more robust deployments with a large userbase,in comparison to the SUN IDM.
