And that's exactly our intention. Not withstanding the legitimate concerns (IMO) around the name, this preview release is meant to be an experiment and an artifact meant to provoke discussion. That discussion should take place on the appropriate discussion lists (nominally indiana-discuss but also pkg-discuss, caiman-discuss and likely sfwnv-discuss). As we experiment more and gain additional insight, any changes from the current defaults in ON and other consolidations will come through the ARC for review. BTW, for those of you throwing stones at Dave Miner, please redirect those stones towards me as I was the one who asked him to make the change to the installer such that the default user would have /usr/gnu/bin at the front of their PATH. Although I appreciate hearing people's opinions on this, what I really value would be hearing the experiences from both existing OpenSolaris users and new-to-OpenSolaris users who have used these settings as shipped. dsc
