I've been reading this thread for a while now. Some of my thoughts are why can't you deliver both. In the install, just ask which personality/flavor you want "solaris classic or gnu". It's just a simple PATH variable to have it. If you really want to get creative, give a third choice, a mix to your liking, just link which binaries are chosen to a different directory, then put that directory first in the PATH variable. If you keep a text file of these links any future updates can read this and accommodate the new personality. One could even create a gui configuration to map out the personality that future updates can read. Now you have Opensolaris that can satisfy any user.
