Among technological differences between OI and OO, a notable benefit is LX zones. It was often stated that OI community has not enough resources to deviate from upstream illumos-gate, since maintaining a fork beyond a branding patch or so is indeed complicated. I got wondering if it is possible to take omnios-gate and build just the LX-related bits for the sake of adding the LX brand support as a few packages installable to "vanilla" illumos-gate os/net? In the binary end, it does add just some modules, tools and scripts, right? At least, if this works, it might help until LX is upstreamed...
