I think Peter was asking whether Sun would (or can) allow OpenSolaris to
use SUNW as this always has been used to tag a package as part of a Sun
product. Another question is will there be a 1-1 mapping between current
Solaris packages and Indiana packages? i.e. Indiana could break some of
the larger packages into smaller packages to give the end user more
choice of what is installed on their system.
