[indiana-discuss] Standards ? An derivative proposal.

Question.

I very much am not a fan of the GNUserland & bash, not least of which because they take the concept of standards and toss them right out the window. 

Part of why I came to Solaris in the first place when the OpenSol project launched was precisely because the default userland wasn't full of incompatible & self-inconsistent GNU tools. 

It seems that the default Indiana distribution wants to remove this compelling reason to use Solaris. 

So, I have a question/proposal. Is anyone other than myself interested in taking the Indiana bits that exist currently, and rolling a distribution with far saner and less linux-y defaults ?

My idea is to have whatever development needs to be done ( and it ought not to be much )  run parallel to the indiana-proper development, in order to have something ready on indiana's official release date

thoughts?
