Ok, I understand your point. And it is cool with you being first with several 
things.

I am only asking if all distros cooperated on one single distro, would it not 
be better if there was only one "official" community distro. It does not matter 
to people if it is Schillix or OpenIndiana, as long as the distro attracts many 
core developers and it gets momentum. But some people would prefer a pure 
OpenSolaris distro, and not an entirely new animal.

I understand there are lots of efforts invested in each distro and lot of 
politics too. I am just worried about fragmentation. Just like Unix: there are 
Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, SCO, Xenix, etc. And they could not be merged, Unix 
continued to be fragmented. And then suddenly Linux came and everyone joined 
it. I am worried it will be the same with OpenSolaris: lots of different 
distros and no one catch momentum. But with a sader end: there is no single 
OpenSolaris distro to emerge, but all these distros die instead.

I think OpenSolaris community is not really interested in umpteen different 
distros, as Linux has. Only one distro is acceptable to most people. I believe. 
But of course, people are free to disagree. :o)
