Does this mean that it could not be part of Sun's OpenSolaris
distro?
This may be naive, but it seems like at least part of the utility
of the community supported hardware will be drivers for
devices that {Open,}Solaris does not support, and which
are need for installation (disk controllers, USB controllers,
NICs). Wouldn't you'd want to have this included in OpenSolaris,
with a checkbox to enable community supported hardware (and
a big loud "abandon all hope" sort of disclaimer) in
the installer. Heck, you'd even potentially want a boot
option in case the kernel needs community supported hardware
to find the optical drive, or run the keyboard/mouse.
