 From my point of view we can stop the branding related discussion. I 
still remember those days when nobody really believed, Sun would ever 
truly open-source Solaris. And when Linus Torwalds had called Solaris 
x86 "a bad joke" in 2004/05.
And I am happy, that OpenSolaris did come into non-deniable existence, I 
care less about how one can call something. More about what stuff does, 
and how well it is engineered.

Stand up OpenSolaris, stand up

I had only intended to clarify that one sub-question (not yours).
