Doesn't an OpenSolaris-based appliance constitute a distribution in
some form? I agree with the "must have source" bit, but I think if
you mean that all projects must target one or more of {Belenix,
Martux, Nexenta, Schillix, Solaris}, then I believe that to be too
severe.
I am hoping that the Appliance Core Contributors will have some
feedback for this discussion in a week or two.
