Thanks.  With respect to the question over audience, I'll refer back to
my original mail where I said that there is confusion over what we're
actually building at the moment.  I believe that stems from the fact
the current release of OpenSolaris has its origins in Sun, rather than
the community, and that Sun have failed to adequately communicate their
goals.

I'm looking forward to seeing that changing, both from Sun loosening
their grip on the OpenSolaris OS now that they've moulded it to the
general shape they want and preferably starting to participate in the
same way that we are expected to (it's seriously the time for ARC of the
Indiana bits, particularly now that we know it will be Solaris Next) and
also in the community setting direction ourselves and making some bold
strides of our own.
