This is a bit late but Solaris uses /export/home

I disagree.
Or at least not as such.
Many Solaris systems I've used have put homes in /export/home. But they
are /NOT/ supposed to be used /directly/ as the home directory. The
intention that they would be NFS exports and that said export would be
auto mounted to /home.
The /export/home is really the /export/ point, /not/ the location that
is supposed to be used.
:
A home directory can be located either on the user's local system or
on a remote file server. In either case, by convention the home
directory should be created as /export/home/username. For a large
site, you should store home directories on a server. Use a separate
file system for each /export/homen directory to facilitate backing up
and restoring home directories. For example, /export/home1,
/export/home2.
Regardless of where their home directory is located, users usually
access their home directories through a mount point named
/home/username. When AutoFS is used to mount home directories, you are
not permitted to create any directories under the /home mount point on
any system. The system recognizes the special status of /home when
AutoFS is active.
