I'd hate to see Indiana just be another Ubuntu flavor, it needs to have
technology that fits it. The inherent danger of mimicking Ubuntu is that
for a long time we'll likely fall short, we'll be the Ubuntu with ZFS
but without all the drivers. 

We should aim for the best solution we can be, Indiana already has a
compelling set of features and I think we should continue the trend SUN
set forward with ZFS and DTrace, we should dare to innovate.
