Ask for community buy-in on the name usage. The problem again isn't
the end result (although I'm sure there are folks who disagree with
that), but the fact that community involvement was elided in selecting
this name, usurping the front opensolaris.org web page, etc.
Right now, it feels like Project Indiana has completely usurped the
OpenSolaris brand without any consultation from the community.
The community was founded as a *community*, not a benevolent
dictatorship. Once you come to grips with that (and this is different
for Ian, at Debian he could pretty much do whatever he wanted, IIUC),
then I think the rest will start to make sense.
