In the absence of a policy, it's premature for sun to continue
distributing something calling itself the "OpenSolaris Developer
Preview". 

Let me be clear: I think it's good that the code is out there but IMHO
the name chosen is at best premature.

You quote Dave Clark's statement:

     We reject: kings, presidents and voting.
     We believe in: rough consensus and running code.

By IETF standards, we do not have rough consensus on the name.  detach
the name from the code and we'll be in far better shape.
