I take it that the once-promised/planned kernel source release for
Solaris 11 is officially canceled...
Frankly, this whole situation reminds me a bit of the situation with
Borland's InterBase DBMS. First, it was released as open source and
then new owners got cold feet and took it closed again. S
It's not really in the proper format for a man page... I wouldn't be
opposed to a "folklore" package that includes a collection of early
USENET humor and the like though.

Frankly, I don't see why anybody would even be tempted to look at the
new code. Most of the people who actually worked on the features that
made Solaris unique have moved to companies within the OI/Illumos
ecosystem. Various reports by news sites seem to indicate that there's
not much exciting in t
My personal theory is the whole matter is being kept as quiet as
possible by Oracle so that Larry can maintain the element of surprise
when he attack the leaker's home with his MiG.

I'm assuming that a disgruntled employee made this dump out of
frustration with the current situation. Still, given that the CDDL
licenses on most files are almost certainly simply leftovers from the
Sun era, the code is useless to OpenIndiana and not legally binding.
I'd even go as far as to say t
Has the code for Solaris 11 been released as was once the plan? If so,
I suppose that features can always get moved over into OI (and from
there into FreeBSD, etc). If Solaris is now closed-source for good,
then all bets are off, though.

Wow. They killed a lot of stuff. Not only 32-bit x86 support but tons
of other stuff too. SPARC Workstation support has been killed off (no
more UltraSparc I/II/III/IV support, no more Xsun and no more hardware
accelerated OpenGL for SPARC) and a lot of legacy peripheral support
for both x86 and SP

What's the plan for the OpenIndiana userland? Is there any plan to
integrate the Heirloom Tools or is the plan to keep up with
"GNU-ification" that had been happening prior to Oracle closing things
up? Also, is OpenIndiana planning on sticking with GNOME or are they
going to be looking at moving to
