Firstly, the man is a visionary but we don't hear from him anymore. Maybe there was too much screaming and kicking when he came in a shook things up. I don't know. I am not in there. Next, the term "indiana" confuses the hell out of users. Q: What are you installing there? A: OpenSolaris Q: What are you running? A: OpenSolaris Q: That has ZFS on it? A: Yes, this is OpenSolaris Q: What is that image update thing your doing? A: OpenSolaris and ZFS allow me to do full updtaes with rollbacks. Now try to answer all those questions to a new user with the word "Indiana" in there. It doesn't quite work now does it? Unless this thing is a product named Indiana with support agreements for Indiana then we should stop using the Indiana discuss mail list and get onto the OpenSolaris band wagon.
