Agreed. What I'm pointing out though is our (Sun's and OpenSolaris') desire for both: To build a great and ubiquitous product, and at the same time evolve into a world renowned open source steward. Anyway, it's only just a concern at this point (re: "their acid test"). I personally think things are still fine because, as I mentioned in my first post, the large majority of membership (my and some others' desires notwithstanding) has tacitly expressed a desire to not hold a vote on the naming issue yet.
