Solaris is made up of a large number of consolidations.  In order to
produce the bits that show up in a build (such as SX:CR), these
consolidations deliver packages to something called the "integration
dock."  The WOS people then turn the crank and produce the DVD and CD
images out of those packages.

The consolidations are all different and each operates by a different
set of rules.  Not all of them build or deliver packages every two
weeks.  Some of them are highly automated, others are not.  Some
consist of thousands of people (ON), others are just a handful.

In this case, one of the gatekeepers for one of the consolidations
accidentally invoked the deliver-these-bits-to-the-WOS script when he
meant to invoke a script that would build a DVD for an undelivered
project.

I don't agree that the original response was quite that vague, but in
fact the answer itself is awfully short: someone just made a simple
mistake.  It wasn't a complicated problem, so there really aren't any
details to hold back, or to explain.  Just "oops."

It shouldn't have happened, but it did.  It's over now, except for the
flame war.  :-/
