I understand that there is a new SSL Beta version available and some patches for the latest Bash version.Perhaps someone could test these and push them downstream.

You missed Tribblix and DilOS and a few others. Same as in cars, why are there 
so many of them that do
similar things ??? Choices.

Tribblix, XStreamOS-Desktop, and OI are the current leading 'desktop-oriented' 
distros. Those distros differ in
package management and default desktops (amongest other things). OpenSXCE was 
one of the leading
  desktop distros for the OpenSolaris community that supported both x86/x86-64 
and legacy SPARC platforms.

As in cars, people working on similar things can contribute to each other as 
well as the big brother distro
(aka Solaris). Some distro projects are self funded or corporate sponsored 
(Nexenta, OmniOS, SmartOS, etc).

OI was more about the foundation of testing the latest Illumos kernel snapshots 
and porting the core upstream consolidations - while supporting a desktop UI 
experience. People wanted to support the 'core OS' consolidations and some of 
the legacy OpenSolaris core projects.

People then branch out and spread their wings to 
build/consult/enhance/embrace... hence, like a phoenix....

True!

That's why i pay for hard&software support on solaris 11.2. (Prices are
reasonable when you have Sun hardware)

But 11.2 != openindiana.

Hmm i am sorry. I seem to have missed that.
Last time i installed and tested it i needed to get a registrationkey and
wasn't allowed to use nexenta for business without paying a quite high
amount of euros.

But that was 3 years ago.
Open source != free-as-in-beer
