What's in it for us?  It sounds like a waste of time.

OpenSolaris is [mostly] open source, snoop is in the open source part of
OpenSolaris.  That should be enough.

I would say it's silly because you're suggesting, I think, that someone
at Sun (?) do the work to get snoop to be a standalone tool that can be
hosted outside ON... but we all seem to agree that snoop is dead to us!
(except for compatibility reasons)

What is the "everything" that we've got to gain by doing this?  Why
isn't snoop's presence in ONNV sufficiently "open source"?
