Our experience is the same. So there is an effort underway to fix it. Two of the areas that are being addressed are install and configuration. By working closely with the Solaris install team we hope to make the process better aligned as well as share efforts where it seems like we should. We also will be beginning the process of open sourcing the install framework mentioned, internal code name purple haze, in the near future. I don't have the dates just yet however it will be in the coming months where progress towards that goal will start to be seen. Thanks, Matt
