Clearly it is. Indiana was certainly not started by the OpenSolaris community, but on Ian's blog as he joined Sun, then on Jonathan's. That Sun wants the Community to get in line and cooperate as they see fit is obvious, but they do not seem to want to relinquish their control. To the contrary, since they're pushing for changes on the whole definition of what "OpenSolaris" is, and what kind of use can be done of the name. I'm not saying that Indiana is not something useful, but rather than Sun is not really behaving as a nice community member, and pushing aside the others. > So, to your question, does the actual community need a distribution? > Clearly not - it already exists, it is the "actual community".

So, rather than educate people than never even connected to opensolaris.org, you'd rather just adapt the whole project to fit their uninformed perceptions? I see the logic, it might even work on the PR side, but I can't say I approve of it.
