A Consolidation can be thought of as both an generic term as well
as a set of specific instances associated with formal milestone
releases.

Other than the limits of the source management technology being
able to handle nested consolidations, there is no reason that
ON Consolidation couldn't include/depend on a driver consolidation,
a POSIX-utility consolidation and a GNU-utility consolidation...

IMHO, a OS.o-Project can ONLY be integrated into one and only one
OS.o-Consolidation.
