That makes for a really black Friday 13th down this

Where too from here ?
Could the community rally togeather and actually
release an OpenSolaris 2010 ?
Well I believe now Illumos has a six month window to accomplish its task
and come out with some sort of distro. Because I believe if it's later
and Oracle releases a binary of Solaris 11 Express it will be much
harder to get more supporters.
We have the bits that it was to be in 134, but do we
have the desire ?
Can the OpenSolaris name remain ?
For a new name .. comOS (community OpenSolaris)
or maybe just a OpenSolaris 2010-comOS
Mark.
i agree snv_134 can still be used for a long time, that is why I'm thinking
about bootstrappng NetBSD's pkgsrc onto snv_134, because i think IPS repos
might soon disapper and, I recommend downloading anthor snv134 and or
2009.06 isos stored them in a saver, incase the install discs get ruin
because the isos may get removed.
I don't think the IPS repos will disappear soon. In that memo it was
stated they are going to try to get a migration path from Opensolaris to
Solaris 11 Express. So until that bridge is built, I believe they will
keep the current repo going.
