Middle of next year seems too late with the Indiana schedule to release
the official OpenSolaris distro in March, as is now plastered across the
http://opensolaris.org/ main page.

I agree two weeks seems arbitrarily short, but given the timelines,
think that December/January-ish is about as late as we can push it
unless Indiana agrees to choose another name for it's March release.
