hear hear!  thanks for your candid insight Ian! .. i've only been at  
sun for about 10 years now, but from what i've seen it's always been  
a chaotic mess of consolidations replete with long pointless debates  
and packaging nightmares

i'm sure i'm not the only one who *really* welcomes your efforts to  
move matterhorns of crusty historic cruft that seem to have existed  
for eons with solaris .. from my 100000 mile view - it seems to me  
that the opensolaris/linux comparison really breaks down since linux  
is really focused on the kernel, and opensolaris is really based on a  
meta consolidation - you're always going to have a few vocal  
advocates for how things should really be branded (eg: RMS and GNU/ 
Linux) .. but damn the politics and keep pressing on!
