Which will get *really* fun when we have competing projects.  What 
happens if someone writes another installer?  Or after the new packaging 
system goes in, people continue maintaining the old svr4 packaging 
source on opensolaris.org?  Or to a lesser, and already existent degree: 
KDE.  Will the "OpenSolaris Distribution" be including these?  How will 
answer the question "well, they are OpenSolaris Projects... why aren't 
they in the OpenSolaris Distribution?"

cheers,
steve
