This argument would have resonated a lot 3 years ago. It took Sun some
time to convince its Solaris community that opening Solaris and
releasing code, allowing other distributions, was a good idea. That
includes me. But I think I can say that we were convinced in the end,
and those new, incompatible distros did help.

Now, this is extremely puzzling. Are you saying that Sun is now pulling
back, and will now somehow try to prevent the other non-Sun
distributions from continuing and potentially diverging? At least by
saying that their existence is not desired?

I'm certainly agreeing with you that distribution incompatibility is an
issue. But I'd let the Community and users decide which one should
prevail. Whether that's Nexenta, or Belenix, or Solaris.
