Really? You've called "Solaris/OpenSolaris" stagnant' you have praised "Indiana community contributions" and when called on this you say "we'll have to agree to disagree". Please name two Indiana contributions by community members who are not part of Sun's project Indiana staff. I do appreciate that Sun folks are part of the OpenSolaris community but I also feel that any claims of "community effort" when it's all a Sun staffed project are dishonest at best. Ksh93 is clearly a community effort, but your claim that excluding it from Indiana is "arbitrary" is misinformed; ksh93 was started long before Indiana, had nothing to do with Indiana. It is part of OpenSolaris just as Indiana is; but it is NOT part of Indiana just as OpenSolaris is not part of Indiana or OS/Net is not part of Indiana. Indiana is a distro; as such it contains bits of many other projects; to claim ownership for Indiana of any of those bits is clearly wrong; at least in my view of the world. I think that that is not an arbitrary distinction; what is contributed by Indiana is not necessarily what is unique to Indiana but what originates from it.
