Why is THE OpenSolaris distribution the most controversial, if it should
be THE distribution?

I'm not against Indiana, I think it is good idea and several interesting
things is comming from it. Except two things:

a) how it is cooperating with the community (and it is outside and
inside of Sun, both sides are in same position around this
cooperation...)

b) if it should be the basic of OpenSolaris distro (including name of
the project), it shouldn't make controversial decisions without the
community

These two things destroy the whole work of the Indiana group :-( They
should change on of these two and the situation will be much better.

Best regards,

Milan
