  Yes, the absence of an opensolaris DTS is a significant hindrance
  (hitting on other aspects as well as this one).  We can talk about a
  proper plan at the summit, but basically we need some help eliminating
  candidates according to

  http://opensolaris.org/sc/src/website/spec/dts-requirements/d-dts-requirements.txt

  (I think E2 might eliminate almost every choice but Bugzilla 3.x, if
  anyone's motivated to read some docs and run a sample instance of a
  few candidates.)
