well - i think the point being 1+ year now on the release makes things seem a bit more stale .. 6+ months, 7+ months, 2010.03 would have been 9+ months and now at 2010.05 with bits that are 11+ or 12+ months i fear for the relevance and perception of [open]solaris in the free market .. too many people will move [are moving] on particularly if there's not enough there to hold their attention and nothing for developers to dig their teeth into without having to compile incomplete bits from the pub source >> pkg.opensolaris.org/dev - is now over 2 months old >> with a build that appears to be about 6 cycles back > > /dev is just treading water until the next official > OpenSolaris distro release, as it always does between > branching for such a release and that release > becoming available.
