but Solaris Express is taking the place of Opensolaris and is officially sanctioned by Oracle and OpenIndiana is what used to be OpenSolaris.
Solaris Express has nothing to do with OpenSolaris. It is simply an early release of Solaris 11. OpenIndiana is a fork of OpenSolaris.

If I opt for OpenIndiana is it going to follow the official Oracle Solaris releases or are Oracle going to hinder them to the point where it ceases to exist.
No reason for OpenIndiana to follow official Oracle Solaris releases. They will release on their own schedule. More information can be found at
Announcement OpenIndiana

timezone
timezone(4) File Formats timezone(4)
NAME
timezone - default timezone data base
SYNOPSIS
/etc/timezone
DESCRIPTION
The timezone file contains information regarding the default timezone for each host in a domain. Alternatively, a single default line for
the entire domain may be specified. Each entry has the format:
Timezone-name official-host-or-domain-name
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or TAB characters. A `#' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file. The timezone is a pathname relative to the directory /usr/share/lib/zone-
info.
This file is not actually referenced by any system software; it is merely used as a source file to construct the NIS timezone.byname map.
This map is read by sysidtool(1M) to initialize the timezone of the client system at installation time. For more information, see the
Solaris Express Installation Guide: Basic Installations.
The timezone file does not set the timezone environment variable TZ. See TIMEZONE(4) for information to set the TZ environment variable.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Typical timezone line
Here is a typical line from the /etc/timezone file:
US/Eastern East.Sun.COM #Sun East Coast
