I remember discussions early on that Sun ought not play favorites among 
distros that are initiated outside the company, and I think we've held 
to that. Really, the majority of our time the last four years has been 
spent on opening the OpenSolaris project itself, not on any one project. 
And it's not too late for a new distro, by the way. That's what they 
said about OpenSolaris, remember? And they were all wrong. :)
