Right, that wasn't suggested text. :)

It seems likely to be, but I'm still not convinced it's the right
thing.

This whole situation is a complete mess, assuming people on the
Indiana side are moving bugs that should be in bugster, to bugster, I
guess that's the best that can be done.

But either suggestion at present is going to cause people running
Indiana to file their bugs in d.o.o, even if generally applicable,
which is just wrong.  I guess it's less wrong if the Indiana folk are
going to use that to triage them to make sure it's not an indiana-ism
that's breaking stuff, but it's still unpleasant.

Being more specific about "OpenSolaris" would help, I'm just not sure
it'd help that much.
