If that is true, Illumos will be ahead of the pack in no time. Bright
future I'd say.
This mostly depends on what Sol11Express will look like. If they make
future dtrace& zfs development closed-source, illumos will have nothing to
pull from, and without corporate sponsorship, illumos will slowly wither.
And if s11e is actually suitably licensed and featured, it might just become
"the new name" for a less-open opensolaris. I wouldn't get my hopes too
high, but it's still unknown.
Illumos has support from prior Sun engineers, including Brian Cantrill
who was Suns major ZFS software Engineer. They may be able to inovate
and Oracle may be following the lead.
