I'm interested in doing what needs to be done to move forwards and without
losing those users that run Solaris 8 and 9 and 10. That is a bit of a
challenge to say the least.
Which may or may not be possible since Solaris 8/9/10 are under a
different mandate than OpenSolaris.

Are we building an open community, or are we building products for Sun

Is it going to benefit others, or is it smoke and mirrors to wrestle control

Will it attract new users to OpenSolaris, or will it just scuttle BeleniX by
taking users away from them back in to the fold of Sun-owned distributions?

It effectively shuts down the possibility of alternate distributions
that focus on different needs and different areas.
I think you're correct in capturing the power of a reference distro, but not
necessarily the effect of it. Nexenta and Belenix (as

2. With all the negative opinions about Linux around here, I'm surprised
to have to say this, but: Multiple distributions without a reference for
compatibility is *not* a feature of Linux we want to emulate! I know, I've
