Still, it's available as an option. The point above was, that even "user 
oriented" installation of OpenSolaris shouldn't introduce potential 
security breaches. And if someone really wants face browser feature, let 
him enable it at some point after installation, together with other 
personal customizations. I.e. don't make it a default for "user 
oriented" installation as was proposed. Not all users want it.
