The only thing I dislike about 'OpenIndiana' is that it gives the impression that it's just an effort to keep Indiana alive. I don't want that. I want something that is cutting edge and innovative, not just 'maintained'.

I find this discussion about the name particularly stupid! Microsoft have used names like Vienna, Longhorn, etc. and nobody complained. And then there are companies with funny names like... Oracle! So let's rename OpenIndiana to say Helios, which is Greek for Sun. Do you think this will make things better?
