With OpenSolaris, there may be more hope (in case you don't insist in a
specific distribution). We are working onSchillix and we are trying to set
up more recent versions of the libs in /usr/lib than Sun does.
That would be good for Schillix, but won't help any/all of the interested
parties have a common solution, as the base OpenSolaris will be based on the
ON consolodation. That consolodation has more to consider than Schillix
obviously.
It looks like to did not understand the problem.
SchilliX is already more than OpenSolaris, but the problem is SX. If the test
machines are installed with SX, they have too much software installed in order
to make expressive tests for OpenSolaris.
Tests that are only based on SX don't help OpenSolaris.
The HP testdrive program offers machines setup with different
distros, for this to
work, we will need to set up machines with different favours of
OpenSolaris so
that the setup times are minimum. In those cases, each owners of the
different
favours of OpenSolaris should take ownership of these machines [1].
This of course open up the questions as to which favour/distros of
OpenSolaris
should be provided, how does this be decided? By CAB, community forces.
Or just
simply a minumum of Solaris Express and Vanilla OpenSolairs? I do hope those
who manages these process behind OpenSolaris roadmaps can provide some
resources to the community.

[1] Assuming Sun is willing to donate these machines for use by other
favours of OpenSolaris.
