I see another problem.In my opinion,the question is about maintaining a single
version of Solaris for Enterprise and Desktop market.These two enviroments are
quite different for many reasons.Ten years ago,we had Motif an CDE for all
enviroments and this was ok.Then,with the arriving of Gnome and KDE,we have had
a new challenge for UNIX in the desktop market .A challenge for a better
user-friendly enviroment, for a better integrated desktop into the OS and a
more simple OS management.So,why have not two versions of Solaris OS? Most of
code should be shared from OpenSolaris project,we can add some characteristics
for specific enviroment:
Desktop release: drop CDE,add boot splash,more new code from opensolaris new
projects into the system,more GTK+ apps and tools (for example...)
Enterprise Release: maintain a strong compatibity with old software and
hardware (for example...)
