I've been away, and just now getting caught up...

Regarding your 6 points, the following gets my +1:

http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/sfwnv-discuss/2007-May/000394.html

As do the comments by other JDS, SFW, and CCD contributors that 
have been made about your 6 points, namely (from what I can 
tell): Comay, Kupfer, Teleman, Duvall, and Christensen.

It seems to me there's been an excellent converging of philosophies 
taking place recently between the SFW/CCD consolidation and the 
JDS consolidation. So what I'm trying to say is that convergence is 
where my sentiments are eagerly headed.
