Can you tell us how Indiana will solve it anyway?
In theory, by having a reference platform. But that doesn't actually
solve the problem. People can always create incompatible
distributions.
The theory is that by having a reference distribution, no one will
want to deviate from the reference in incompatible ways because they
value compatibility.
Shawn -- Well put. This also suggests the following notion which I find
really interesting:
To the extent Solaris 10/11 (SunOS 5.x) _is_ a reference platform today,
that theory doesn't seem to be holding up in the Nexenta case!
