I agree. We all know that a certain release of OpenSolaris will be based 
on a certain version of Nevada (eg. OS2008.05 on snv_86 and OS2008.11 on 
snv_91); so why when you boot OpenSolaris, it still makes reference to 
snv_XX I do not know; but suspect that this is something that will be 
addressed soon; together with dropping Indiana - something that Glynn is 
moving forward, ISTR.

Nevada can/should continue as the nomenclature for development builds, 
but it should be kept away from the OpenSolaris distro to save 
confusion; and "Indiana" phased out completely over time.

Regards... Sean.
