That's not true. Heirloom has lots of interesting changes and features which are not based on Opensolaris and were added later. Yes, development has mostly ceased (same applies for SchillyX, which hadn't any commits in 2012 and only a handful in 2011) but some of their features are still worth taking. > There have only been very few changes during the past years and not even real > and important fixes added by Sun since 2005 have been applied.
