If you want security updates, there's no reason why some of you can't get together and start your own business offering these updates for a fee. OI is open source. You wouldn't necessarily have to start your own distribution, although you could do that, too. But the code base is out there. You can charge a fee for these services. And if you want to be real nice, contribute the security fixes back to OI for inclusion in later releases.
I would join such startup. I am not (yet) an OI/Illumos developer, but interested in learning. Also - I am in need for an additional part time, or even full-time paid job (remote though - I am located in Russia). Thumbs up for the idea of distinct business entity contributing the produced security fixes back to OI for inclusion in later releases.
