So what you're saying here, is that those logos have nothing to do at
this point with the OpenSolaris Community? That now, for Sun,
«OpenSolaris» means the Sun binary distribution also known as Indiana?
And that Sun is the only decider on this, though kind enough to let the
Community preview the logos in advance?

Are we now some kind of focus group to test Sun's PR before it gets
rolled out to the public?

Yes, and in this light, I dislike that answer even more.

I was unhappy last year at the decision to use the OpenSolaris name for
a binary distribution controlled by Sun. I'm afraid the fears I exposed
back then could now prove true.

I am not disregarding the hard work of all the Sun employees. But I
thought OpenSolaris was first about building a Community, where Sun
would be a member not more equal than others.
