Speaking of which (in regards to this proposal)...I don't know if this
page is still "up to date", however:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/about/roadmap/conslist/

(Install and DevPro seem to be missing their labels on the left side
of that "Available Now" table)

Maybe a good thing as part of this proposal would be to identify which
specific consolidations it is intended to include as part of a
"reference distribution" -- if that is the direction it is going.

Personally, I could see at least the following consolidations (from
that list) as part of a "base reference distribution":

ON
Install
Docs
G11N
Man Pages
NWS

Those seem like the most basic "components" needed to me.
