"Project Indiana is an initiative to create an OpenSolaris binary distribution with single CD install and network package repository. This is a discussion forum for this project."

Whether you like it or not, as Xsun is not re-distributable, you do depend on Xorg. For x64/x86 that's of course not a big deal anymore (thanks to Alan Coopersmith's [and many many others', from x.org] year-long hard work). For SPARC it would have been.

The whole list seems to be only interested in x64/x86 (as indicated by the frequent [prefix-less] references to newboot/grub, among other things).
Now it seems to get worse: Not only hardly any interest in SPARC, but also less and less a technical discussion forum.
If you find the naming/branding/marketing stuff more interesting, than a discussion about 

CONTENT,

then you will lose ground earlier or later. Rather "earlier".
I won't longer annoy you with pointers to technical details. I might rather consider selling my stuff and experience to http://www.xig.com/.
I have proved that I am well willing to work and to work for free. But not for a bunch penguins (in suit && necktie).
Much fun with picking nice desktop icons.
